Rehan Staten, who worked a sanitation job to support his sick dad, made the news in 2020 after getting into Harvard Law. He has now graduated.
At age 24, Rehan Staton was working for Bates Trucking and Trash Removal while also a student at the University of Maryland. He used to get up at 4 a.m. for work. Sometimes, he wouldn’t have time to shower before class, so he’d sit in the back of the lecture hall to avoid his peers.
Staton received his juris doctorate in May during a commencement ceremony at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts — and got some of the loudest cheers,“Mission accomplished,” he said on Facebook, reposting a video from a D.C. journalist who has been following his story. Her post shows the moment he walked across the stage.
But fellow workers at the sanitation company encouraged Staton to keep pursuing a college education. He finally graduated from the University of Maryland with a GPA of 3.84 and took a job with a Washington, D.C., consulting firm to continue supporting his father.
