Homeless Student Gets Straight A*s And Wins Himself A Place At Cambridge
A heart-warming story to come out of today’s A-Level results – a homeless student managed to secure top grades, and a place at Cambridge University.
Jacob Lewis, from Cardiff, managed to achieve four A*s and secure himself a place at Cambridge to study law. He was left homeless after a fall out with his family, and he then lost his zero-hours contract job after he asked for time off to take his exams.
His college helped him out with travel and living expenses, through a student hardship fund, and he spent most of the days in their library studying.
