In it, the woman photographed states that receiving a scholarship to Georgetown was the happiest moment in her life. We’ve posted the photo and caption below, but you can take a look at the original post here.

“My mom was hooked on crack. We were always alone and never had any food in the house, so I only ate at school. And we never had any electricity. So every night I had to do my homework in the hallway.”
“Do you remember the happiest moment of your life?”
“When I got my scholarship to Georgetown.”
