She may have lacked a home, but now this teen has top honors.

    A 17-year old student who spent much of high school living around homeless shelters and sometimes sleeping in her car-today graduated and spoke on behalf of her class at Charles Drew High School in Clayton County, Ga.，just outside of Atlanta.

    Chelsea Fearce, who held a 4.466 GPA and scored 1，900 on her SATs despite having to use her cellphone to study after the shelter lights were turned off at night.

    "I know I have been made stronger. I was homeless. My family slept on cushions on the floor and we were lucky if we got more than one full meal a day. Getting a shower, food and clean clothes was an everyday struggle,” Fearce said in a speech she gave at her graduation ceremony. Fearce overcame her day-to-day struggles by focusing on a better day. "I just told myself to keep working, because the future will not be like this anymore, she told WSBTV.

    Fearce，one of five children, grew up in a family that sometimes had an apartment to live in, but at other times had to live in homeless shelters or even out of their car, if they had one. "You're worried about your home life and then worried at school. Worry about being a little hungry sometimes and go hungry sometimes. You just have to deal with it, You eat what you can, when you can.”

    To our surprise, Fearce overcame the difficulties and even tested high enough to be ad- mitted into college halfway through her high school career. She starts college next year at Spelman College as a junior where she is planning to study biology, pre-"med（医学预科），"Don't give up. Do what you have to do right now so that you can have the future that you want,”Fearce said.

Diane Fossey was murdered in Rwanda in 1985 and her story was made into the popular film Gorillas in the Mist. It was a long way from King Kong, which is about a gorilla as a monster (a frightening animal), and helped to show a new idea: the real monster is man, while the gorilla is to be ad-mired. Today there are thought to be around 48 000 lowland gorillas and maybe 400 ～ 450 mountain gorillas in the wild. From the Congo in West Africa, to Rwanda and Uganda further east, they are endangered by hunting and by the cutting down of their forest homes.

Some time ago, I found in my letterbox a little magazine from the World Wide Fund for Nature. It had two photos side by side. One was of a young gorilla. “This is a species of mammal (哺乳类动物),” said the words below it. “It is being destroyed by man. We must save it for our own good. ” The other photo showed a human baby. The words also read, “This is a species of mammal,” but then went on: “It is the most destructive (破坏性的) on earth. We must re- train it for its own good. ”

The famous American gorilla (大猩猩) expert Diane Fossey had a completely new way to study gorillas—she pre-tended to be one of them. She copied their actions and way of life—eating plants and getting down on her hands and knees to walk the way a gorilla does: It was a new relationship.
