BARNESVILLE, Ga. --
A homeless teenager found sleeping in a tent outside a Georgia college after biking six hours to get there is receiving an outpouring of help and support from across the country.

Police officers discovered Fred Barley, 19, on Gordon State College campus last weekend, media outlets reported.

Barley told officers that he rode his little brother's bicycle more than 50 miles from Conyers to Barnesville with two duffel bags and two gallons of water to register for classes for his second semester of college.

The biology major, who dreams of attending medical school one day, planned to stay there until he could move into the dorms in August, with nothing more than a box of cereal to eat. He had been spending his time during the day job-searching.

Dance as if no one's watching, sing as if no one's listening, and live everyday as if it were your last.

Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
