    SUCCESS STORY:

    Graduation is the Goal

    "It’s not about me anymore, it’s about the baby.”

    This is the message Rosetta shares with other teens as she encourages them to stay in school and avoid pregnancy.

    “Before I came to the YWCA, I was headed in the wrong direction,” she says.  “My case manager helped me realize I need to achieve my educational goals in order for me to be able to provide for my son.”

    As a peer advocate she speaks to other teens at risk of becoming pregnant. “I tell them it’s hard.” she says. “I get up at 4:30 AM to get myself and my son ready. We walk to day care and then I go on to school.”

    After graduation, Rosetta plans to attend MCC and study Nursing. 

    “I’ll be the second in my immediate family to graduate high school. Now I can be the first in my family to graduate from college.”.
