From the article....
The teenager had nightmares police would storm in the middle of the night to kick her family out on the streets.
That was until one day her parents decided to move to Tennessee while she living in Raleigh taking summer classes at the Governor’s School of North Carolina. She came home, they were gone. Cell phones turned off, empty house, no note, no warning -- nothing.
"All the help in the world isn’t going to do you any good if you're not willing to work hard," she said.
"A lot of people use bad situations as an excuse and instead of doing that, I turned the bad things around into motivation to succeed and do well," Loggins said. "I felt like it would be so easy and even acceptable if I were to just say – you know what, I give up, I can’t do this in this situation, but I didn’t. I knew that if I wanted to make something of myself and I didn’t want to live like this when I got older, I had to get it done."

If a chump like Obama can get there I don't see why some one willing to work can't make it.
One problem though,she's homeless, where do they send the acceptance letter ?
