摘要
瓦伦西亚大学校长桑迪·舒格特发现,该校最有前途的学生之一住在奥兰多游民收容所,每天花几个小时搭公交车到3个校区上课时,他主动提供给该生一部车及住处。安杰尔·桑切斯拒绝了校长的好意。这位31岁的学生坦言,“我想证明我做得到,我不希望被人说,‘你是因为有人会送东西给你呀。'”已经有很多人对他存疑。毕竟很少有重罪犯出狱后去念大学,不管是像桑切斯这样的在五月时以平均成绩4.0毕业,并获得全美最具声誉的奖学金之一,每年资助他3万美元北他继续学习。(译注:美国平均成绩换算标准各校不同,一般而言,4.0是全A的成绩。)
When Valencia College President Sandy Shugart discovered one of his school's most promising students was living in an Orlandohomeless shelter and spending hours each day riding the public bus system to take classes on three campuses, he offered the young man a car and a place to live.Angel Sanchez turned him down. The 31-year-old student admits, “I wanted to show people it can be done. And I didn't want them to be able to say, 'Well, you had somebody giving you things.'”
