Peter Horsfield on 23 Sep 13Elizabeth "Liz" Murray's childhood was riddled with drugs, alcohol, and poverty. It's the kind of childhood that corrupts and molds a problem citizen. Fortunately, Liz did not turn out like her parents. She strove to break the cycle of hopelessness that ran in their family for generations. Despite being homeless, Liz completed high school in two years, won a New York Times scholarship, and made it to Harvard. Now, she inspires people as a motivational speaker and chairs her own company, Manifest Living. As soon as her life got better, she reached out to those who need help.
