From eighth grade until his senior year of high school, Columbus, Ohio, teen LaShawn Samuel walked a 3-mile round trip from his home to get to the library and back every day for homework help. Now, he’s learned that his hard work and dedication are paying off. The teen, who persevered amid all the hardship, has been accepted to 12 different colleges, including The Ohio State University and a handful that are offering him a full ride.
