The woman was a hotel (经理). Dawn was finally in a normal home. To make money, she took a job as a school cleaner and worked every day before classes (开始). With great efforts, she always got A (在······期间) her teenage years and worked even harder. She hoped to get into Harvard (大学) one day.
As the saying goes, "No pains, no gains." Her dream came (真的) and she studied biology there. This was a fantastic achievement for a teenager whose life had been far from easy.
