This could have been inspirational. One line at the end really stuck out to me. It something of the affect of ''if she had something to lean on maybe she wouldn't have tried as hard or at all, and was at her rock bottom''. I also noticed how you could see on her face that she was still dealing with her past and wasn't completely happy, despite what she accomplished. Very realistic and hope she's getting therapy.
However something I did not like was what happened to the character Chris, who plays Liz's friend. Chris went to school with Liz and revealed she was sexually abused, and her mom took her abuser back. Without going into full detail, Liz is the reason Chris ends up being homeless, which leads to her life spiraling out of control. We also never get any closure with this character. While Liz makes it to Harvard, Chris is somewhere in Brooklyn after getting kicked out of a group home. That left a bitter taste in my mouth. The itself was just messed up.
