Teacher Gives Her Student a New Life

Teacher Gives Her Student a New Life
CNN HLN

Here’s a story we ran across from CNN. A 26-year-old woman named Chelsea Haley graduated from the University of Georgia a few years ago, and joined Teach for America to work with low-income kids. She ended up at a school in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and almost quit early on because of ONE problem student.  12-year-old Jerome Robinson had a rough family life . . . moved around a lot . . . was failing every subject . . . and constantly got suspended.

But after a while, Chelsea got through to him and was the only teacher he’d listen to.  Then in 2015, she was ready to go back to Georgia but stuck around for one more year, specifically because she knew Jerome needed her.

CNN has the complete of the story.
