A homeless student from Tennessee was admitted to more than 40 colleges and received $ 3 million scholarships

Stress of the graduation year at school can be overwhelming. Add to this the problems at home, and it can disrupt the academic plans of any high school student.

Memphis (Tennessee) high school senior Tupac Mosley had a 4,3 GPA and a 31 on the ACT, ranking him at the top of his class and given the honor of delivering the commencement speech. And he was able to do all this while he was experiencing the death of his father and the lack of permanent housing, he writes CNN.

These achievements brought him scholarship offers from more than 40 colleges totaling over 3 million dollars.

“It’s truly an honor and a blessing,” he said.

Mosley set a personal goal of winning a $1 million scholarship to “do the best I can for my school.” When offers began to come in, he said: “I wanted to get more than a million.”

“I actually didn’t know I got $3 million until I graduated from high school,” the guy admitted.

Mosley never used his life's difficulties as an excuse - according to Raleigh Egyptian High School principal Shari Meeks, the guy always had a smile on his face and was very friendly.

Mosley is not the only member of his family who has reached academic heights. His older brother was also the best graduate.

Mosley even had some time living in a tent, but he thanks his family, friends, and school teachers for his success.

“They’ve all been very supportive,” he said.

In September, Mosley will begin to study at the University of Tennessee, where he plans to engage in electrical engineering.

“Having worried about finances and money for most of my life, knowing that I can do what I love for the next four years and start my career is motivating. Now I can do it with confidence without worrying about anything else,” Mosley admitted.
