How LSU's Stephen Sullivan rose from poverty to become first college graduate in his family
Stephen Sullivan huddled under a highway bridge in Irving, Texas. He was 10 years old, maybe 11, with nowhere to go. Cars thumped overhead. He tried to sleep.
Sullivan had lived in a nearby hotel, but he and his older brother were kicked out when police arrested his parents. They found shelter together underneath the bridge. School had just started. They skipped class the next day.
Sullivan had always lived in poverty. Neither of his parents graduated from high school. They struggled to support four boys. Sullivan bounced between Texas and Louisiana. He felt embarrassed when the school bus picked him up from the hotel.
With his parents incarcerated, Sullivan slept below the bridge for a few nights until his little league football coach, A.D. Jenkins, picked him up from a gym. Sullivan hadn’t bathed. Jenkins didn’t know if he had eaten.
