People close to Shardae told her she would never graduate high school – and she knows that they might have been right if she had not discovered our school. Her biggest challenge to overcome at her previous school was a lack of motivation. She didn’t do well sitting in classrooms all day, so our flexible schedule and ability to learn at her own speed was ideal for Shardae.
“I could go at my own pace and work on the subjects I needed. That really motivated me,” she said. “The whole school staff was so helpful with everything. The advice, the tutoring…everything was perfect. I appreciate them so much for helping me get my high school diploma while embedding real life skills along with school skills.”
Shardae graduated this year, got her driver's license, enrolled at a Community College and is looking for a job that gives her time to attend school. Her goal is to become a school social worker, own her own home and car, and make wise investments.
She wants to remind other high school students to never give up.
“Use your resources to get help. There’s always light at the end of the tunnel,” Shardae said. “The world is yours and you can do anything you believe.”
