hey dawn,
courage , never give up , from the life school to harvard , it;s a big step , may be one day as you know the reals problems verry young as future president you will eradicate them verry first and make a real american dream society with true human and brotherhood socials values.
This Cinderella is already a Princess in my eyes. Maybe she will run for office one day after Harvard as another famous politician did. Maybe even president. She is already ahead of where he was at this time in his life..She had a real job and knows what real work is all about. Great story anyway and the only thing she ever asked for were candles so she could do her homework. Who else would do that these days? God Bless her.
