For inspiration, read the book, "Hope in the Unseen." It's the true story of a young man whose background was very similar to yours. He was impoverished, dad was incaracerated. Still, Cedric Jennings made it through college and grad school and now is in his early 30s. You can get it cheap on Amazon used.

Connect here with Mr. Tubz, a Stanford student whose background is very similar to yours.

Post on CC's Parents Forum, where you'll get lots of wise advice from supportive adults.

Congratulations on your successes. Sending you warmest wishes as you finish senior year and move on with your life.
