Alex Chivescu

I recently came across the story of Alex Chivescu. He is a remarkable young man and a foster kid. He spent time in care due to an injury his mother received from a car accident. His dad was never in the picture. After being in care for a few years, he was going to have to leave his school district, so instead of transferring schools again, he recruited his own foster parents. He is now attending college at Harvard. You can read his story here and here. They made a movie about his life that you can learn about here.
