Dropping out, coming back
Behind the numbers are faces, lives - and voices
Cree Henson: “People think because I’m 16 and have a baby that I don’t have a future.”
Fresh (Douglas McLean): School is “basically like the streets, just indoors.”
Melissa James: “I wasn’t dumb. I just chose not to do it.”
Rymeir Mortimore: “I had to give it up – being 18 in the 10th grade”
Kendra Evans: “I was in a relationship that was no good for me.”
Adam: “To be honest, it wasn't pretty much the school - it was me.”
