Homeless Teen Graduates Valedictorian And Will Enter Spelman As A Junior
Homeless teen Chelsea Pearce is the type of girl who’s tragic, yet triumphant life is the thing tear-jerking movies are made of. Spending most of her teen years living in her mother’s car, Chelsea has managed to do the d*** near impossible–graduate from high school…at the top of her class.
That’s not all! The impressive Charles Drew High School senior will be going to college at Spelman College, where she will bypass freshman and sophomore year to start as a junior!
Fearce spent her last two high school years taking college courses and her 1900 SAT score made her an academic star at her school.
How does one do this, especially under the circumstances of poverty Fearce faced? With a 4.466 GPA in her grasp, Fearce simply states, “I just did what I had to do.”
