What drives someone to live secretly in a van while attending one of America's most elite universities? Ken Ilgunas stood in a Home Depot parking lot at age 21, watching his hair fall out from stress, his body developing nervous tics, barely keeping up with his college coursework while earning $8.25 an hour pushing shopping carts.
