Growing up around rampant drug use, instability at home and bullying at school is a too common reason high school students give up and drop out.
For Gabriella “Gabby” M., she chose another option by removing herself from the negative situations that surrounded her. While attending a public high school in Philadelphia, Gabby was bullied and felt unsafe every day. She had enough and decided it was time for a change. She left Philadelphia and moved in with her grandmother in Charleston, SC.
She tried online school to stay focused but couldn’t hold herself accountable and started falling behind. She needed a fresh start and a change in her education and Learn4Life was the answer. She was able to catch up, focus on school instead of fearing for her life and is on track to graduate this year.
Gabby’s story is a testament to the impact that a supportive and inclusive learning environment can have on a student’s success. Bullying and learning challenges can have serious consequences, but with the right resources and support, students can overcome them and reach their full potential.
