I would love to see this homeless McCaskey student
get a scholarship from Harvard too(just like Liz Murray).

Why do you automatically assume the student is from McCaskey? The article clearly states that there are people THROUGHOUT the county who are losing their homes.

But her classmates at a suburban Lancaster County high school do not know that every night she sleeps in a room with six women —

Suburban, doesn't that mean Other than Urban? Other than city? Other than McCaskey?

You can bet she's not the daughter of someone we elected. I applaud her drive, and wish her only the best.

This "news" is not new. This situation has existed for quite some time and although life has dealt these young adults/teenagers a rough hand, they still have a sense of pride and don't share the homelife and situation with others. So it is important this article is shared among educators because they never know when they have one or two or fiften of these students sitting right in their classrooms wondering how they are going to eat tonight or how will they complete that assignment that requires them to spend hours on the Internet but they have a check-in time at the shelter. How they will purchase the necessary materials to complete said assignment. Actual numbers of homeless students (living on their own) would probably shock this town. I commend the young woman featured in the article as well as all of those others facing these challenges yet they are doing everything they can to get the education they deserve.
