Now, the Maryland man has his degree in hand. 🙏 The 27-year-old told ABC News that his family “started to run into a lot of financial insecurities” after his mom left when he was in second grade. Staton graduated from high school having barely earned a 2.0 GPA, according to ABC News. Teachers had previously attempted to place him in special education classes, and spoke poorly of his intelligence. After high school, Staton began working for Bates Trucking and Trash Removal in Maryland, ABC News and CBS News reported. There, his colleagues encouraged him to go back to school, and eventually, he reapplied to college. “Although I get credit for working hard, working hard was the easy part,” he said in a recent profile by The Harvard Gazette. “But I just happened to be around people who cared enough about me. I worked for a trash company, where my co-workers told me that I should go to college instead. I had a boss who let me leave work, go to school, and come back. I had a cousin who helped me study for the LSAT." "I couldn't have done it alone,” he added. ❤️ Read his story at the link in our bio.
