Star of the Week
The Associated Press recently ran a story on a homeless girl living in a Wal-mart parking lot who recently obtained an internship at Elle Magazine. In an interview with Mediaite.com she denies that she is being exploited by the fashion magazine, insisting that she has been given a great opportunity. Rather than harp on the fact that she is getting paid 150/month for 24 hrs of work, she points out that interns usually don't get paid at all and that the editor is doing her a great service by giving her special hours and commuting time.
Kudos to her for the positivity and the ambition.
Reminds me of a younger-childless version of the Pursuit of Happyness.
If she can still be ambitious, then there is no excuse for the rest of us. (Specifically me)
