After meeting a young graduate a few weeks ago, I was convinced that miracles do happen. Imagine not know if you would graduate high school and make it into college with a 1.5 GPA. I have came across an amazing girl that accomplished that goal, if she can do it, I know any child is capable to receive the same type of education under any circumstance.
It's heartwarming and inspiring to see someone adapt and overcome difficult circumstances.
ReplyDeleteTo me, that proves that we need to change our class structure. ACT scores are a better indicator of what someone actually knows than a GPA and yet there is so much weight and stress on GPAs. To some, a GPA may be something that would discourage someone who is actually absorbing the lessons that teachers have to teach us. I am glad that you found a young lady that is able to pick herself back up after being tripped by the way things are. I am glad that you are able to make a difference in people's live like this. Thank you for doing all this.
