However, she didn't let that obstacle stop her, and she went to and from school for long hours so that she could achieve her goal of going to Harvard.

The theme was never give up because she was very unfortunate. She was homeless. She still soldier on. She keep a good mindset and was able to accomplish a lot of things in her life. Based on the text “ maybe their time ran out at a temporary shelter, or maybe she sensed the conditions were becoming unsafe”. This shows that Williams she had to move around a lot she didn’t have a stable place to lay her head. The text also states “ She says Harvard was the plan all along”. This shows that She spoke that she was gonna make it and she did.

My point could be proven when the text states “Khadijah recalls the time in third grade when she tested in the 99th percentile on a standardized test: The school was like ‘Oh, this is probably a mistake’.”. This shows Khadijah is a intelligent individual who was doubted by her educators, but this wouldn’t stop Khadijah from achieving her dream. This point could be proven when the text states “ Randy Winston, president of student services at South Central Scholars, says he was immediately struck by Khadijah’s ability to maintain her focus”. This shows Khadijah is able to maintain her focus on her dream no matter who attempts to bring her down. This is why the theme is no matter who brings you down you get right back up.]]> 2019-10-25 18:05:11 UTC https://padlet.com/brizard4/2rrqc7347q56/wish/402714944 https://padlet.com/brizard4/2rrqc7347q56/wish/402715051  The theme developed throughout “A Homeless Girl’s Dream?” is don’t judge a book by its cover. The text states “Khadijah recalls in third grade when she tested in the 99th percentile on a standardized test. The school was like oh , this is probably a mistake. They didn’t really think it was possible for me to get that high a score”. This demonstrates that because Khadijah was poor and have her necessities that her school thought she couldn’t get a high score. They underestimated her intelligence. The text goes on to state “People focus on the material things you don’t have when you’re homeless”. This shows that her school most likely thought that because she didn’t have much that she couldn’t exceed in her classes or get excellent grades. This is why ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’ is a theme developed throughout “A Homeless Girl’s Dream”.]]> 2019-10-25 18:05:21 UTC https://padlet.com/brizard4/2rrqc7347q56/wish/402715051 https://padlet.com/brizard4/2rrqc7347q56/wish/402723655 The theme developed throughout “A Homeless Girl’s Dream” is don’t judge a book by its cover. This is true because thought out the whole text lots of people doubted the fact that she was smart. For example the eighth grade teacher did not believe that she tested in the 99the percentile out of the state. All because she was homeless. This is true because in the text it states “ when she tested in the 99th percentile on a standardized test... oh this is probably a mistake .” This proves that teacher doubted her but she still kept pushing. This also proves that she worked hard even though what she went through. Also in the text it states   “ endure a multitude of impendments to education a lack of structure, lost school records, poor physical and mental health and high absenteeism.” This proves that even  statistics doubted her. But she still kept pushing. That why the theme is hardworking pays off.]]> 2019-10-25 18:17:45 UTC https://padlet.com/brizard4/2rrqc7347q56/wish/402723655
