You wouldn't know it by looking at her, but this girl is a freshman at Harvard. The reason you would never guess this is because she is wearing a dirty old tank top, too-short jeans, and has a bunch of random-looking folded papers and granola wrappers in her see-through book bag.
The fact that the words "Ask me" are written three times on this book bag illustrates how desperate she is to tell her story about how she used her story of growing up dirt poor as a tool to get into the most elite school in the country. She wants to tell people that it is possible if you persevere to get in to your dream school.
But no one needs to ask her how she got in. The Mardi Gras beads say it all.
