Communities In Schools Dallas Region Student Stories 

Rubi

Rubi
 
Students like Rubi, a senior, often encounter circumstances which prove challenging to overcome in order to graduate. Communities In Schools Dallas Region (CISDR) works with at-risk students one on one to overcome those challenges.

Rubi found much needed support from CISDR. “I didn't really care about school,” she says. “I had dropped out and left school and then I got pregnant with my boyfriend. I started thinking about what I wanted in life and for my daughter. CISDR really supported me and taught me not to give up on what I wanted but instead to fight to it, to follow my dreams and not let others crush them.”

CISDR encouraged Rubi to return to school and graduate. It wasn’t easy for her, but CISDR supported her all the way. “I'm glad I stayed in school. I thought I would never finish.” Rubi now has a different outlook for her future. “I now know that education is important. You can't find a good job if you're a dropout with a bad record. I want to be a pediatric oncology nurse."
