A true feel-good story: a sanitation worker is accepted to Harvard! Watch!

A sanitation worker from Maryland has been admitted to Harvard Law School after continued adversity nearly made him abandon school altogether. After graduating high school, financial issues, illness and a major sports injury left 18-year-old Rehan Staton frustrated and exhausted as he worked to support his brother and father. He picked up a job at Bates Trucking & Trash Removal sanitation company, whose employees refused to let him give up on himself, and he was able to finish college. He credits his coworkers and family for help him achieve his dreams. Rehan will begin classes online at Harvard Law this fall.
