LAWNDALE, NC (WBTV) - 18 year old Dawn Loggins has an amazing story to tell.  She has been homeless, abandoned by her parents, and called a high school dropout.

But she didn't let those challenges stop her from living her dream of one day attending an Ivy League University.

She was accepted to Harvard University.  She said her motivation came from her experiences.

"When I was younger," Loggins said.  "I looked around at my family and I saw the neglect, the drug abuse, the bad choices and I saw my family living from paycheck to paycheck, and I just made a decision that I was not going to end up like my parents. I wasn't going to end up having to decide should I buy food this month or should I pay my rent."

The graduating senior's struggles started when she was forced to live with her grandmother.  Her parents abandoned her.
