The Washingont Post ran an article titled "Breaking the Cycle" (by Michael Alison Chandler) which featured the story of Monica Aramburu.
Monica gave birth to her first child when she was in 8th grade, and her second child when she was in 12th grade.
Monica hopes to finish her high school diploma this summer. She has been going to school at a public high school (Bryant Alternative School) that has a special program for teen mothers.
The article says, "The Bryant program offers flexible schedules, parenting classes, mentoring, transportation and job counseling before and after graduation. Key to Bryant's success, Link said, is a partnership with the on-campus day-care center run by United Community Ministries."
Does your county have a program like this that could help your pregnant daughter finish her high school diploma?
