From garbage collector to Harvard Law School: Here's the inspiring journey of a boy who won our heart

USA : Life isn't always perfect. Sometimes we look at those around us and think that they're just lucky and we're not but it's important to understand that everyone has their struggles. They didn't just get where they are so easy. Everyone has to overcome hurdles and challenges in life because life has it's ups and downs. But some people's struggles set examples for everyone out there. They inspire us and give us the strength to overcome the challenges of our life. 

One such story is of this young guy, Rehan Staton from Maryland, US. We all face hardships but we all don't have the courage that it takes to win the battle no matter how low the graph of life takes us. Most us dream big but end up giving up on them because of all the challenges that come our way but this man never took a step back and continued working hard to achieve his goals no matter what life threw in his path. 

18 years old, Rehan Staton could not even afford to pay for his own college tuition but that did not stop him. He worked hard as a rag picker or trash collector in order to put together enough money to fund his education. Even after all his struggles, he managed to graduate from college. Now, most of you would be wondering what happened to his parents. His father and brother earned barely enough to make ends meet and his mother abandoned him. But after he took up the job of a trash picker his colleagues and the son of the owner of the company encouraged and supported him. It did not end there though. 

Rehan chose to study further and took up a job as an analyst at a firm in Washington D.C. and applied to law schools in the meanwhile. What will surprise you is that he was accepted by some of the top universities like Columbia University, University of Pennsylvania and many others. He was also on the waitlist of the Georgetown University, New York University, UCLA and others. But in the end, he managed to get into the top university that anyone can hope for, Harvard Law School. Even after getting into Harvard, he did not have enough to pay his tuition and set up a GoFundMe campaign and has raised nearly $46,000. His journey from trash collector to a Harvard student sets a big example for all those who are struggling in their lives.
