A Texas teenager, born in Galveston County Jail, is bound for Harvard in the fall after graduating high school summa cum laude. The 18-year-old from Montgomery County, Aurora Sky Castner, was among the top of her class at Conroe High School as she closed the chapter during the graduation ceremony last week.
The student is headed for a new adventure as she’s looking forward to attending Harvard Law School on a full scholarship—a goal she set back in elementary school.
