My continuation high school is amazing. Our students have made the choice to finish school. They were not successful at any of the traditional high schools in our district and now are focused on graduating. We have teen parents, foster children, and even students who have had run-ins with the law. (We even have a probation office on site daily at our school.) But now they are all aiming for one common goal: walking the stage and receiving their diploma. One of my students who is in foster care also has two children of her own. She is wonderful and is focused on making her children's lives better than hers has been. It would be easy for many of my students to just give up and drop out. However they don't; they persevere and inspire me to be a better teacher and better human being.
