How one man went from a 0.9 GPA in high school to Harvard. investinyou (in partnership with acorns)

When Todd Rose was young, he struggled with academics. His senior year in high school, he had a 0.9 grade point average and was kicked out before graduating.

By the time Rose was 21, he had two kids, was working minimum-wage jobs and relied on welfare to get by. He said he held close to a dozen jobs after dropping out of high school. To cover the difference, Rose took out government loans, and he had a job selling chain-link fences during the day, while attending classes at night.Rose graduated from Weber State at the top of his class and with $40,000 in student loans. He went on to Harvard for his doctorate in human development with a partial scholarship that helped cover some of the tuition.

Right now, Rose's student debt has grown to about $180,000, but he says he has worked out smart spending and saving strategies to pay it off, including consolidating his loans at an interest rate that's below inflation.

City: Continued low numbers for black and Latino students offered admission at elite high schoolsThe number of black and Latino students receiving admissions offers at the New York City’s specialized high schools remains low, according to offer letters sent out to students by the city’s Department of Education on Monday Maybe we should lower the bar so they can all get in. Only problem is then those schools would suck and we'd be back to SQ 1. Far left New York....hmmm, and Cuomo is 2.5 Billion short in taxes from 'Wealth Flight', hmmmm again, the wealthy left. They vote far left then leave. Fails to mention that for more Asian students are selected than white ones. Sounds like the smartest ones are being chosen and not an issue of “white privilege” as it seems to imply. Read the articles in full. Headers often mislead.
