Success is not only in the hands of each and every student, but is also the responsibility of each school, each parent, and each community. As a society, we have gotten to a point that the cost of doing nothing is far greater than the cost of doing something. We can no longer afford to continue to do what we know doesn't work. We must engage our youth to help them identify and then achieve their goals; it is a steep climb, but we have to find ways to help them to climb the mountain toward success.
As stated by Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Knowledge comes by eyes always open and working hands; and there is no knowledge that is not power". We must continue with our efforts in lowering high school dropout rates because the future of our children, our community, our city, and our nation are at risk. Ignorance and failure is no longer acceptable. We are at a juncture and we must pursue interventions that will ultimately stem the tide of high school dropout rates. We all know that knowledge is power; lets find the will to achieve the power.
