Do It for Yourself & Your Future

Stay in School

By Mercedez, high school student, Huntsville, Alabama

I wanted to drop out so bad. I was disappointing everyone. I decided to do it for my mom.

I also realized that I can't make it really without graduating from high school. I don't want to have to be struggling.

So I tell people now to stay in school and don't do it for anybody else. Do it for yourself and your future.
