Cleveland student David Boone worked hard to go from homeless to Harvard

"It's a lot to take someone in, particularly a teenage boy," David said. "I was kind of upset that no one would, but I was never upset at any one person."
Though the park baseball diamond was mostly isolated from crime in other parts of the park, he soon decided it wasn't safe to sleep there. He says he developed a new plan: When he wasn't in school, he would sleep in parks during the day and roam and study at night, so he'd be awake and alert to trouble.
"If you sleep in the daytime in the park, people don't bother you," he said. "You're just taking a nap. It's acceptable."
