Homeless teen earns full scholarship – “Danielle Galloway, 17, is the eldest of six in a family that has grown up homeless in Atlanta. They’ve bounced from shelter to shelter, occasionally to an apartment, and back to another shelter. By her count, Galloway has attended 10 different schools. Her father is largely absent from her life. Her stepfather is in jail for molesting her. (The AJC doesn’t typically name sexually assault victims, but Galloway gave her permission.) And yet, Galloway has graduated in the top 25 percent of her class. In the fall, she will attend Boston University on a full-tuition scholarship. She plans to run a foundation that will provide mentors to homeless and low-income children.” (Atlanta Journal-Constitution) photo by Vino Wong
