Dawn Loggins overcame abandonment and homelessness and still made straight As.
Class of 2016
Loggins is attending Harvard on a full scholarship after overcoming poverty and homelessness.
She was abandoned by her parents when she was in high school and found herself homeless and helpless. The people in her community rallied around her, offering her food, shelter, and support.
During this time, she channeled her energy into her schoolwork and activities: she participated in her high school's band club, photography club, cross-country team, and National Honor Society. She also scrubbed floors as a janitor at Burns to earn extra money—all while making straight A's.
Now a freshman at Harvard, Loggins has started her own non-profit to help other students in disadvantaged situations find success. Her organization has so far raised over $35,000 to give others the opportunities to which they might not otherwise have access.
