inspiring every day.dawn loggins, a north carolina high school senior who was left homeless by her parents the summer before her senior year, has graduated from burns high school in lawndale, nc. while thats quite the accomplishment, what comes next is truly amazing: dawn has been admitted harvard university .dawn grew up in a less-than-ideal situation, to say the least. her house had no electricity or running water, so she was forced to do her homework in the dark and go days, even weeks, without showering. she lived with parents who abused drugs. at burns, dawn was accepted to governors school, a one-month summer program in north carolina for gifted high school juniors. but when she returned to lawndale from the program in july t,she found her house empty, with a notice on the front door,saying the house has been taken back.dawn was officially homeless.dawn didnt let her situation stop her drive to be successful. as a senior, she participated in typical high-school activities at burns: band club, photography club, cross-country and national honor society. she also worked as a janitor（看门人）to earn extra money all while making straight as.and like any other bright high school senior, she decided to go to college.dawn applied at four north carolina schools and her dream school, harvard.then she got an acceptance letter from the ivy league school. on top of being accepted, dawn received a full scholarship to attend.cnn wrote that since dawns story has circulated worldwide, people have sent encouragement and money to the teen. dawn doesnt want the money for

the southwestern chinese province of sichuan on saturday, killing more than 30 people and injuring hundreds of others, local authorities said on april 20th 2013.the quake struck yaan just after 8 a.m. local time about 115 kilometers (70 miles) away from the provincial capital, chengdu, at a depth of around 12 kilometers, according to the u.s. geological survey. there was conflicting information about the earthquakes strength, with the usgs putting the magnitude at 6.6 and the china earthquake networks center gauging(测量) it at 7.0.earthquakes happen without warning. they can happen any time of a day, at any point during the year. when an earthquake is happening, you should know what you should do or not do.do not go outside. you could get injured from falling glass or parts of buildings. if you are outside, stay away from buildings and power lines stay under a desk, table, or other strong furniture. hold on to it. or stay in a corner of the building. cover your face and head with your arms and cover your mouth with a towel or clothing. stay inside until shaking stops and it is safe to go outside. keep away from pictures or advertisements on the wall or the building, and anything
