A very inspirational and uplifting story of Liz Murray.. it upholds our belief and our message to our kids that you could be what you want to be ..

Used to live in the same life like Liz. Now I am going to apply for Stanford University.

Sometimes TV movies out do themselves, this is one such.

A truly inspiring true story, is almost unbelievable. I believe that the protagonist will go on to do great things, I am sure she will make a great mark in society and that we will hear from her again: perhaps the source of a sequel! To come from such a background to excelling so impressively is an inspiration, the sort of movie that could be used as a motivation tool.

The production values and the acting - particularly that of Thora Birch - are very impressive.

I would recommend this movie to all.
