My Toast for Change 1/4/2012

I will break my family cyle, all of the women on my mothers side of the family dropped out of high school when they were 17 (including my mother) because they all got pregnant. I will be the first grandchild on my mothers side of the family to graduate high school and go straight to college afterwards. All of my other cousins either dropped out, gotten there GED, and or have been arrested. I will show my younger siblings that although high school can be a struggle, it is possible.
