This is my story, but it doesn’t have to be. You can help change my narrative. I am re-entering school at age 18… but I read at or below a 5th grade level. I’ve attended at least two previous high schools, unsuccessfully. Like 95% of students in my school, I qualify for free or reduced lunches. Along with 24% of students, I have a documented disability. I enrolled here with only 6 of 20 credits needed to graduate. Like 270+ of my classmates, I am a teen parent of one or more children.
