17-yearold Elexis Webster grew up homeless with cruel family members and serious health problems.But Webster has got over these difficulties to become an honor student at her high school.
The teen spent her childhood living in dug-outs(防空洞) ,cars,and any place where her family could find shelter.She was treated cruelly by her mother,a drug user,who left her and her sister alone without food for days.Her older brother disturbed her study too many tunes.Her poor living conditions led to her becoming extremely weak, which caused her to miss school often.
