Liz Murray

 

　　Everyone who knows Liz Murray would admit that she is a miracle made by herself. Though she suffered from devastating family environment and indifference of other people, she saved herself from desperateness to be a person of value.

 

　　During her childhood, her situation was worse than any children: her parents were drug-addicted since she was 4, and when she was 8 she had to leave home and started to beg in streets; seven years later her mother died of AIDS and her father was forced to move to an asylum. Previously she had a home that was broken into pieces, but when her mother passed away, even her home disappeared. She felt the whole world fell down.

 

　　After she and one friend wandered about for more than one year, she finally realized that she wanted to change: “I could submit to everything that was happening in living life of excuses or I could push myself. I could push myself and make my life good.” With the determination, she began attending the Humanities Preparatory Academy. Though she started with an academic level that was only equal to a student at eighth grade, she managed to finish the prescribed 4-year high school curriculum within only two years. And because of her extreme excellence among all students, she was awarded the New York Times First-class Scholarship and admitted into Harvard University.

 

　　“I don’t feel myself pitiful. That has always been my life. Instead, I will thank it because it forced me to look forward anytime.” Right now Liz Murray has completed her master’s study in psychology, and is on her way for a PhD degree in clinical psychology. She also set up Manifest Trainings, a company that provides a series of workshops that empower people to make a difference in their lives.

 

　　莉丝?默里

 

　　每个知道莉丝?默里的人都会承认她是个自己亲手打造的传奇。

 

　　虽然她一直遭受着常人无法忍受的家庭环境和旁人的冷漠，但是她实现了自我拯救，最终从绝望中走出，成为了一个有价值的人。

 

　　小时候，她的情况比谁都糟：她的父母在她四岁时候开始就染上毒瘾，当她八岁的时候她不得不离家出走在大街上乞讨;七年以后她的妈妈因艾滋病死亡，而爸爸也被迫关进收容所。如果说原先她还有个支离破碎的家，那么当她妈妈去世，她连家都没有了。她的世界坍塌了。

 

　　在她和一个朋友流浪了一年多之后，她意识到自己必须改变：“我可以为自己寻找各种借口对生活低头，也可以迫使自己创造更好的生活。”决定之后，她加入了人文预备学院。尽管她当时只有八年级的文化水平，她的努力使她在两年之内完成了高中四年的课程学习。更棒的是，因为她的优异成绩，她被授予纽约时报一等奖学金并被哈佛大学录取。

 

　　“我并不觉得自己可怜。这就是我的生活。相反，我要感谢它，因为它让我在任何情况下都必须往前走。”现在，莉丝?默里已经完成了她的心理学硕士课程，正在攻读临床心理学博士。她还创立了“明显培训”公司，提供一系列工作坊来帮助人们在生活中创造奇迹。
