If you feel powerless to achieve your dreams and believe that difficult circumstances are standing in the way of your goals, read the story of Liz Murray, an American girl

who grew up in a desolate place without the basic necessities of life. As a child, she was forced to pay the price for her parents’ descent into drug addiction, struggling to find food

for the day, clothes to cover her, and a place to call home.

Her story is filled with tragic turning points and painful moments. But today, it is a source of pride for Liz, who armed herself with determination and hard work to light a candle along

her dark path and transform her life in every way.

 كيف تحولت “ليز” من طفلة مُشردة في شوارع الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية إلى نموذج ناجح، ومؤثر، وملهم يحتذي به الملايين حول العالم؟:

.

طفولة قاسية

Liz was born in New York City into a very poor family, as her parents spiraled into drug addiction.

Liz suffered severe neglect. Despite her young age, she had to take care of household chores and look after her younger sister, as well as her parents, whose health was

steadily deteriorating.

.

بلا مأوي

These circumstances led Liz to drop out of school while she was still in middle school, as the family’s financial situation worsened and her parents’ health declined;

she even learned of her mother’s death at the age of 15, and her father soon followed.

Liz and her sister had nowhere to turn but the streets, where they were homeless and resorted to begging and stealing. The streets became the sisters’ only refuge.

.

وقفة مع النفس

Despite lacking every basic necessity, Liz firmly rejected the chaos that had engulfed her life. She decided to break through barriers and cast off restrictions,

defying the odds.

With help from a classmate, Liz managed to continue her high school education, studying her lessons on the streets and inside subway stations.

.

إصرار وتحدي

Liz had no mother to care for her, no father to support her, and no home to shelter her. Even so, she outperformed all her classmates.

Once, Liz won a New York newspaper’s autobiographical essay contest, earning a scholarship to Harvard,

one of America’s leading universities.

.

صعود سريع

As was typical of Liz, who had vowed to build a promising future for herself on her own, she knew how to make the most of that scholarship and devoted herself to developing her skills,

achieving remarkable success and earning an appointment as a university lecturer.

.

مبيعات ضخمة

Liz documented her success story in a book titled “Breaking Night,” which quickly became a huge bestseller and has continued to be

a source of inspiration for many people around the world.

The story did not stop with the book: Liz’s life had to be brought to the big screen. The film “From Homeless to Harvard” was made, and it

highlighted Liz’s struggle and the difficult challenges she overcame with strength and determination, ultimately reaching a prestigious position that many people—even those who have

what you have—of access to it.

Finally, Liz was honored at many events and ceremonies and received several awards as one of the most inspiring and influential figures.

صفات ريادية

لا توجد عوائق: إن اجتياز “ليز” لكل هذه الظروف التي جمعت بين غياب الوالدين، والفقر الشديد، والتشرد في الطرقات، والتسرب من التعليم،

shows that no circumstances can keep you from achieving your goal. A determined person can succeed, while someone who is apathetic may become powerless.

.

Hard work pays off: حينما أخذت “ليز” على عاتقها الاجتهاد في التعليم الثانوي، فازت في مسابقة مجلة نيويورك، ثم حصلت على منحة للتعليم في

The most prestigious American universities.

.

Take a Moment to Reflect: قد تشعر في لحظة من حياتك وكأنك تسير بكامل قوتك نحو الهاوية، وتهرول تجاه مسار لم تختره ولا تريده، وفي تلك اللحظة،

if you don’t take a firm stand for yourself, reassess your choices, and commit to a complete change, you will have written your own ending with your own hands.

.

Don’t Look Back: لا تبكِ على اللبن المسكوب، وخذ من ماضيك العبرة فقط، فحاضرك ومستقبلك هما ما تملك فعليًا، وما ينبغي أن تعمل من أجلهما،

Just like “Liz,” who left her past behind and built a future with her own hands that had nothing to do with it.
