Wow, this is an amazing program. I hope the participants take it and good far. Good luck to them!! This is one of the reasons why i stress education so much for my kids. Education is key. One thing they can't take away from you is your mind.
I am in this program! I am sooo thankful for the second chance!!!! I was raised in foster care…. Went to many schools but due to my up bringing I could not concentrate in school. This is my second chance!!!!!! When I get my high school diploma I will be going to college to become a social worker.
I am proud of them trying to get their high school diploma because education is important.
Go Strong Beautiful Lady 💪🙏
Nothing is more emotionally taxing and physically dangerous to a child than the single mother environment. This woman irresponsibly kept having babies without a good husband. And allowed her selfish desires for dating men to harm her children. One is no longer alive. Yet, women is in this comment section is celebrating her.
That pink hair looks ridiculous.

Im sooooo proud of them!!! ❤
I really really really want to finish high school, but the adult programs in idaho suck! I pray that one day, i can find a program that works for me so that i can graduate high school! 🙏🏾
That is so nice that there are options for adults to finish high school.
She needs to get out of Baltimore.
6 children at 33 years old . DAMN talk about damaged by the system lmaooooo…
That is so sad child got killed .
That is fantastic
Definitely shouldn't be having more and more kids than you can take care of…….
Ms. Scott….I am extremely proud for you… an amazing lady and cant wait for your book❤
I wanna watch the graduation too 💓💓
There is a nurse on youtube who dropped out of highschool but she was smart and enrolled in college as a mature student to get her nursing degree. She was fully commited though and worked hard. Most colleges have daycares on campus. Im not convinced going back to get her highschool diploma was the right decision when she could just enroll in college as a mature student. She needs to drop the pink hair if she wants to be taken seriously..
Might sound draconian but it should be a crime not to get an education. Up to 18 you are societies problem….doesnt have to be all traditional, in think its prudent to have trade and other ways to make a productive life.
YES! Wonderful story to hear and fantastic for them! Congratulations guys, you deserve it. I will be looking for the book soon to be written by the aspiring 73 year old writer.
Dang. I have tears. This is beautiful. Now I feel that much better when giving to Goodwill.
All of them are amazing. This is a wonderful program. Support is so important. 73 years old. Anything is possible. Keep it up. ❤
