I was going to a regular high school and I wasn’t doing well. I was actually getting in a lot of trouble and had to find another alternative. I had the opportunity to go back to my high school, but I decided to stay with Ombudsman. I really like this program.
I just wasn't able to avoid all the distractions at my old school.

I just wasn’t able to avoid all the distractions at my old school. I couldn’t get anything done. At Ombudsman, I spend all my time getting the work done and I focus on getting my diploma.
I’ll be graduating next year and I’m already making plans for college. I’m thinking more positively now and I’m staying out of trouble. I finally gained self-confidence. Ombudsman helped me to think positively and realize all that I could do with my life.
