Making their mark: This is\u00a0one in a series<\/a>\u00a0of profiles celebrating members of Rochester\u2019s graduating class of 2018.<\/em><\/p>\n

Growing up in Los Angeles, Matthew Lyskawa \u201918 saw no purpose in school.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hated it,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Bored and frustrated, he was dismissed from two high schools for disciplinary reasons, finally graduating with a 1.8 grade-point average. He was chronically truant, and police often escorted him to school at his mother\u2019s request.<\/p>\n

One day his junior year, a teacher summed up what he says others must have been thinking.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll be surprised if you work anywhere but McDonald\u2019s,\u201d the teacher told him.<\/p>\n

This Sunday, Lyskawa will receive a bachelor\u2019s degree in philosophy from the University of Rochester. This fall, he\u2019ll begin a doctoral program in philosophy at Harvard\u2014after turning down offers from Brown, Cornell, Johns Hopkins, Northwestern, and California-Berkeley.<\/p>\n

His turnaround is nothing short of amazing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am proof,\u201d he says, \u201cthat it\u2019s possible to fail forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

A rough beginning<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Lyskawa felt like an outsider from the start. He grew up the youngest of five children, the only African American in a white family, and the only one with a different father. He was also the lone black person in most of his classes.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt out of place,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Lyskawa faced other serious challenges. His family received social support and was in Section 8 housing. A brother who suffered from bipolar disorder directed racial slurs at him such as \u201cslave\u201d and \u201cmonkey\u201d almost daily.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was relentless,\u201d Lyskawa says. \u201cIt made me hate being black. I truly hated what I looked like, and the group I was part of. I didn\u2019t think I was anything but what he called me.\u201d<\/p>\n

He met his biological father at 17, only to discover \u201cwe had no real connection.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in the third grade and prescribed Ritalin\u2014which he says he began abusing in high school. Eventually, he was able to wean himself off the drug. But he could do nothing about school, which had become a daily chore. \u201cI\u2019d think, \u2018Why the hell am I here when I have all these problems at home?\u201d Lyskawa says. \u201cI had academic apathy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Things began to change during his senior year at Gladstone High School in Covina, California, thanks to an English teacher named Sheryce Long. She saw something in Lyskawa that others had missed.<\/p>\n

\u201cMatthew had a thirst for learning and discourse I couldn\u2019t ignore,\u201d Long says. Lyskawa \u201cseemed to have fallen through the cracks of the education system.\u201d She asked him why someone who seemed so bright had never taken advanced classes. \u201cI\u2019ve never been in a school long enough for someone to notice my need for a challenge,\u201d he answered.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never been in a school long enough for someone to notice my need for a challenge.\u201d<\/div>\n

Long noticed that Lyskawa often finished his classwork significantly earlier than other students. She decided that instead of having him \u201cwasting time napping or playing on his phone, I suggested he read books.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first book Long chose for him was Kaffir Boy: The True Story of a Black Youth\u2019s Coming of Age in Apartheid South Africa<\/em>. Although it\u2019s more than 500 pages long, Lyskawa devoured it in days, then asked Long for another. He read A Long Way Gone. Life on the Color Line. Black Like Me. Roots.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI fell in love with reading and couldn\u2019t stop,\u201d Lyskawa says.<\/p>\n

When he graduated, he made a decision: \u201cI have to go to college and learn more.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finding his niche<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Lyskawa enrolled at Mount San Antonio College, a community college outside of Los Angeles, and recorded a 3.4 grade-point average after two years. Wanting to push his boundaries, and by now enthralled with philosophy, he applied to Rochester\u20143,000 miles away\u2014and was accepted.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a difficult decision, because Los Angeles is so different from Rochester in many ways,\u201d he says. \u201cBut I made the move.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hayley Clatterbuck, an assistant professor of philosophy at Rochester, says Lyskawa challenged himself from the start. \u201cHe asked if I would grade him like I would grade a graduate student, explaining that he wanted to be held to the standards to which he aspired,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Paul Audi, an associate professor of philosophy, says Lyskawa always wrote drafts of papers well in advance of deadlines.<\/p>\n

And Randall Curren, chair of the Department of Philosophy<\/a>, says Lyskawa is the first philosophy student in his 30 years at Rochester to continue as a doctoral student in that field at Harvard. \u201cThis is a great moment for us, and all the more exciting because it\u2019s the culmination of Matthew\u2019s audacious journey,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Lyskawa was also a McNair Scholar<\/a> in the David T. Kearns Center<\/a>, something he calls \u201can essential part of this journey.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe love and support from the Kearns advisers made me feel welcomed at Rochester and enabled me to succeed,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Lyskawa entered the spring 2018 semester with a 3.85 grade-point average\u2014two full points higher than his high school GPA.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe faculty have been nothing short of amazing,\u201d he says, adding that \u201cthis was the first time I was around students who had passion like me, and it was stimulating.\u201d<\/p>\n

Long says she is thrilled at Lyskawa\u2019s success\u2014but not surprised.<\/p>\n

\u201cMatthew is one of the most inspiring people I\u2019ve ever met,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Lyskawa will become the first in his family to graduate from college, but perhaps not the last.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy mom is now going back to school because of me,\u201d he says. \u201cShe\u2019s been super motivated. And my sister is going back to college.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lyskawa\u2019s goal is to earn his juris doctor degree and become a law professor. It means six or seven more years of education. A few years ago, that would have terrified him. Now, it energizes him.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s still surreal, to be honest,\u201d he says. \u201cI\u2019m addicted to learning.\u201d<\/p>\n
