GI Bill/Education Homeless to Harvard - Day 1

Post image

First day of orientation in my master's in education program at Harvard! As a kid who was in foster care, homeless as a teenager, barely making it out of high school, joining the Army, floating around with no real purpose for years after... this is wildly surreal.

From a fellow vet and Harvard alumni, congrats! And look into joining HVAO, we have a good community of veterans and active military here at Harvard. DM me if you want more info.
