Liz Murray , a 22-- year-- old American girl, has been writing a real--life story of willpower and determination. Liz grew up in the shadow of two drug--addicted parents. There was never enough food or warm clothes in the house. Liz was the only member of the family who had a job. Her mother had AIDS and died when Liz was just 15 years old. The effect of that loss became a turning point in her life. Connecting the environment in which she had grown up with how her mother had died, she decided to do something about it.
Liz went back to school. She threw herself into her studies, never telling her teachers that she was homeless. At night, she lived on the streets. “What drove me to live on had something to do with understanding, My understanding was that there was a whole other way of being. I had only experienced a small part of society,” she wrote in her book Breaking Night.
She admitted that she used envy to drive herself on. She used the benefits that come easily to others, such as a safe living environment, to encourage herself that "next to nothing could hold me down". She finished high school in just two years and won a full scholarship to study at Harvard University. But Liz decided to leave her top university a couple of months earlier this year in order to take care of her father, who has also developed AIDS. "I love my parents so much. They are drug addicts. But I never forget that they love me all the time."
Liz wants moviegoers to come away with the idea that changing your life is "as simple as making a decision".

My friend Monty Roberts told me a story about a young boy. One day at school, the boy was asked to write a paper 36 what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.
That night he wrote a seven – paper 37 his dream of owning a farm. He put a great deal of his 38 into the paper and the next day he handed it in to his 39 . Two days later he received his paper back. On the 40 page was a large red F with a 41 that read, “See me after class.” The boy went to see the teacher after class and asked, “ 42 did I receive an F?” The teacher said, “This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like 43 . Owning a farm requires a lot of money. There’s no 44 a young man could ever do it.” Then the teacher added, “ 45 you will rewrite this paper, I will reconsider your 46 .”
The boy went home and 47 about it long and hard. Finally, after a week, he turned in the 48 paper, making no changes.
Monty then said, “I tell you this story because you are sitting in my farm. I 49 have that school paper over fireplace.” He added, “The 50 part of the story is that two summers ago the same schoolteacher 51 30 kids to camp out on my farm. When the teacher was 52 , he said, ‘Look Monty, I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was something of a dream 53 . During those years I stole a lot of kids’ dreams. 54 you had enough courage not to 55 yours.”
Don’t let anyone steal your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what…

One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought that someone would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up.
As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn’t dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.
As he got closer he called out, “Good morning! What are you doing?”
The young man paused, looked up and replied, “Throwing starfish in the ocean.” “I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish in the ocean?” “The sun is up and the tide is going out, and if I don’t throw them in they’ll die.”
“But, young man, don’t you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. You can’t possibly make a difference!”
The young man listened politely, then he bent down, picked another starfish and threw it into the sea, past the breaking waves and said, “It made a difference for that one.”
There is something very special in each and every one of us. We have all been gifted with the ability to make a difference. And if we can know that gift, we will gain through the strength of our visions the power to shape the future.
We must each find our starfish. And if we throw our starfish wisely and well, the world will be better.
