Getting accepted to Harvard Law School was a feeling that Rehan Staton will never forget.
Staton had a stable life growing up until his mother 1 the family and moved out of the county when he was 8. His father then worked multiple jobs to 2 Rehan and his older brother, but the family struggled 3. They often had no food or electricity.
Rehan's academics significantly suffered. As his grade 4, he channeled his energy into sports. He was 5 in boxing and won national and international competitions which he hoped would become his way out of 6. However, his dreams were 7 when he suffered a shoulder injury in the 12th grade.
Rean's poor grades as a senior resulted in him being 8 by every college he applied to. So he took a job at Bates Trucking and Trash, 9 rubbish and cleaning dustbins.
Rather than add to his despair, the job marked a 10 point. His co-workers found his 11, uplifted him and urged him to go back to school. Finally he was 12 to Bowie State University. By the end of his second year, Rehan decided he wanted to go to 13 school.
Rehan was 14 for the support he got from his co-workers. "It was the first time in my life that a group of individuals had really just 15 me, and told me I was intelligent."
