"This fork in the road happens over a hundred times a day, and it's the choices that you make that will determine the shape of your life." -Liz Murray.

[@sergeantmasson3669]

Liz, your story turned my youngest daughter's life around. She was a problem from age 12. I insisted that she watch the Liz Murray story movie. Debra worked hard, graduated HS and then off to nursing school. She became an RN, then a master's degree in nursing. Then, she earned a doctorate degree in nursing. She now runs the nursing department at one of the largest hospitals in the USA.

[@SpikeChia]

you are a great parent!!! and you have a sensible daughter as well.

[@sevimatmaca6348]

Her story should be told in every school, to every child. It is so inspiring and gives everyone hope to achieve anything!

[@nadaelannasi9320]

5:00 "It was so clear to me that you could go your whole life saying I'm gonna do it later" So true!

[@sac1303]

God bless this woman. She is a great example of success over immense adversity.

[@mermaidlu5125]

She worked hard and she’s smart . She knew the streets was not going to take her anywhere . She probably saw Wall Street people on the trains in the mornings with nice coats and bags and lived in comfortable homes and said I’m going to be them one day . Her sister Lisa did well too . Congrats

[@rubinakochar5343]

Apart from the sheer willpower, what strikes me the most is that she doesn't harbour anger against people. She wasn't mad at her parents for not being parents or her situations. She was sad, no doubt but not playing the blame game. She accepted the situation and worked awfully hard to change it. Complete responsibility of her actions. No victimization of self.

[@moonlitSapphire3691]

True

[@vasiliosleimonitis5791]

100% determination. Sheer willpower. NOT easy

[@jac5348]

Not everyone is built like her with such resiliency & maturity to face adversities. GOD was the one to carry her all the way through. How one can use their pain for purpose. How to face& deal with the trauma. This is tough on anyone who endures severe loss&trauma. No one wants to play victim under unfortunate circumstances. Things like this can make you or break you. Mental health can play on number on ones brain. This is a miraculous testimony which I believe "Nothing But God".

[@KateLate____]

Blame is a natural response in this situation. I would not judge her if she had done that.

[@menzy1838]

it's true ... God was with her throughout her journey .

[@deannekliene2673]

She a prime example of the power of positive thinking .and the epitome of gratitude!

[@carriegraham-ellis2965]

I had the joy of meeting Liz as part of the United Way in North Central MA when she came to speak to a group of us. It was an honor.

[@senadmarovic3530]

I watched this movie twice and cried both times this women is beautiful and brave and beyond words for a kid to go through what she did and make it all respect to her😢

[@WellWiseBeauty]

Same, I cried throughout the whole movie

[@hetoako]

The serenity prayer and how it changed Liz's life is proof positive that prayer is truly powerful 🙏🏻 ❤ how strange/amazing that it reached her in the most unusual circumstances and from a very unlikely person. God works in mysterious ways indeed.

[@Ana_826]

Been reading her memoir for the last few days. Finally I'm finding some hope after years.

[@narlovely618]

I cried so much when I was watching this poor kid went through a lot

[@jac5348]

I cried so hard watching her true story

[@aemen8796]

She is marvelous! But don't use her story to justify child abuse. There are many kids that just can't get out of that hellhole so telling them "you should've done what she did" would be unfair. Nonetheless, she's an inspiration to many.

[@barbieanderson6823]

Just like her friend cris chose the wrong side of the rd. Alot of success people out there their pain turn them ina better person whilst some turns worst. But for a better life we have to chose the best way mayb not exactly as her but successful

[@Jeymez]

they don't get out sometimes, but the only reason people stay stuck is cause they don't believe nothing with change. she shared her story because she decided not to give up, you don't have to go to Harvard it's almost impossible to get in there even if your not homeless, but Liz was willing to get out of her situation no matter what it took.

[@wedge5896]

Who has tried to use it to justify child abuse?

[@carissablankenship6538]

Ur comment makes zero sense. Child abuse? Justified?

[@jaydegrundy4956]

Love this comment

[@raquelvlogzz1183]

She's a wonderful woman and inspiration to others.

[@jep1948]

I watched this movie, she saw a chance and she took it, what an amazing young lady.

[@clrcec.9158]

Someone has to break the circle. you have to do something in order to stop the situation that you're in.

[@muslimah4life67]

You are such an encouragement Liz Murray to a former foster youth like me. congratulations on your success and family. I pray that you continue to be successful.

[@mshayashi]

Liz Murray story gives us a powerful message that we can change our lives if we want.

[@pavanchandankar7061]

This was really inspiring. Liz murray is a great personality.

[@aloky247]

I remember watching homeless to Harward 20 years ago.

[@bestrongcourageous2932]

This can be used in therapy sessions with kiddos trying to survive their parents struggles with substance.

[@jac5348]

I used her story n movie as a teacher but did not inspire any.of my students back when I was an educator.

[@rationalnetizens972]

every day is a possibility for a new change but confidence and courage are prerequisites!

[@kurtskaaning5426]

Life does not wait for anyone.

[@wwlt.trevor0512]

I love her story and I've definitely thought it over. The number one point is she KNEW her parents loved her in spite of it all. That was key. Second, lucky her, she didn't acquire any mental health issues. Also, key.

[@cathytonkin9781]

Thank you Liz❤

[@angelaholmes8888]

liz is a true fighter because she knew that she didn't want to end up like her parents I'm glad that she decided to make a change in her life for the better

[@goalcast]

Very true and very well said. Thanks for watching!

[@rahulkhandelwal6493]

Normally I don't take interest in these types of videos but really it struck me hard,it brought tears in my eyes and I wept for my lazy habit and never tried adventurous things.

[@goalcast]

It’s never too late to try! You got this

[@SkiddsPumpkin]

Same. Best of luck!

[@OneStepToday]

Praise the lord. Very powerful testimony. God bless her.

[@joeygamio4716]

It's a beautiful story so inspiring. Thanks for making this a movie. She's a courage person

[@wheatstonebridge]

Shes so pretty. So much trauma changes you in life. I'm glad she made a good life for herself.

[@bread2951]

The fact that she still says "I love my mother so much". How can she? I would have hated my parents from the core if they did drugs and got me homeless.

[@grimalteruism8641]

she was born into it maybe thats why and a beautiful person

[@afifahabdulrahman177]

She really loved her mom so much.I remembered in the movie she said she would give what she has now if she get her family back.

[@UNLOCKEDESSENCE]

Anger makes us sick love confides everything forgiveness is better

[@toni-annleone780]

It wouldn't have profited her to be angry​@@UNLOCKEDESSENCE

[@adinastotler9733]

Unless you live it it’s very hard to understand but her mother was ill and sexually abused as a child she couldn’t find or see a way out like Liz and that could have been Liz and Liz saw it. It’s all you know… I became homeless due to both of my parents being mentally ill gangbanging and drug addiction. We are not entitled to anything in this world. You’re lucky!

[@deannekliene2673]

Not every homeless person is a drug addict, innocent ppl have bad luck o r are affected by others......it's what they do with it that matters..

[@BelindaMilton-p7j]

Amazing story, you are a great inspiration, well done Liz, you deserve much more ❤

[@kcc628]

You are brave and a wonderful human being 💞

[@zoriemohommed9406]

Very brave girl...she made d right choices. N she persevere. Brilliant❤❤

[@sane_muggle]

This sort of determination .. Truly inspiring ✨❤

[@thelegendofthem6120]

What an incredibly inspiring human being!

[@ahnafali16]

This makes me realize that all the things that i used as excuse to underestimate my capabilities are nothing but JOKES

[@goalcast]

Believe in yourself

[@immurlis13]

I can't stop my emotional tears 🥺🥺❤❤

[@oksanaiavorovska7768]

It would be great story to learn in school...children and students in the same time have to know about it... A way of choosing life where everybody has to change to get own road for the best of the best ...and chance is great gift to get a price!!❤❤❤

[@kzp5249]

I am so happy for you that all turned out well in your life. Thank you for the great inspiration you are to the world. Blessings always 🤗🌸💜

[@nadiathebesta1526]

Amazing video! Thank you SO MUCH!!

[@perfectliar724]

Movie line : If only, I have gone. If only. If only, I have went to school.... I think that's how it went 😖 I was 13 when, I first seen this movie. I am 32 now. 😭😭

[@jeanqueen8401]

Thank you for sharing your story I stumbled upon the movie base on you and I watch the whole thing I am inspired and I also ordered the book as well. You are right life doesn't wait for you, you have to decide at the end to make it out in the dark tunnel and you did it. I just experience a lost of my former boyfriend who has died of drug overdose my whole world change, I wasn't sure if I should continue school because he died but watching your movie has taught me that I need to keep pushing forward and not give up thank you once again!

[@IsaacJoshi]

[@taylorm1997]

I was in eighth grade when I heard about the story and watched the movie and it was so sad

[@nikkiishh690]

i’m 19. have gone through quite a bit of what she has, moms schizophrenic. ima make it out.

[@johnkamau3442]

truly inspiring

[@TheBeliever1204]

Irresponsible parenting destroys lives. My mother destroyed my life that way. She didnt do drugs or anything. She never guided or helped me. Just as bad.

[@helenmadden5468]

Lovely woman. God bless you

[@lovenlightman]

Saw the movie about her. Very sad.

[@leannadavies7440]

Love lizz Murray ❤ bless 😊❤❤❤ her

[@Onlooker414]

It's worth noting that she met people along her way who helped her - Emma (I think her name was), David (the school principal) and her dad(although he lived in the shelter.)

[@johnkamau3442]

[@migueleduardochangbustaman1448]

Life comes to you and you have to live it, with the tools you have, you must carve out a path that allows you to reach a destination, which may or may not be attainable, however, on that path you must be certain that your steps day by day they forge you and your desires, your desires, your most precious dreams illuminate that path you walk, beyond destiny.

[@abduljalilmahama5682]

Strong will

What has been left out of this video is that the mum is going blind. Who are we to judge someone who is losing their eyesight from a genetic disorder. How scary!

[@AntonioGracia-j3v]

i prayed the same one in camp afflerbaugh in l.a with a priest that came in this institution and ..

[@DELFELECTRICIDAD]

She is wonderful young, my story has many similarities with hers, on my channel there is a brief summary "From Homeless Child to Entrepreneur", I hope you like it and find it useful. Big hug.....
