Jazmine, 15 years old, TN

Jazmine is a determined young woman who is overcoming the odds and working hard to break generational cycles of poverty and violence.

Her mom is working while also attending college, setting a powerful example of perseverance and the importance of education. Jazmine is following that example. She is enrolled in dual-enrollment classes, working toward graduating high school while earning college credit at the same time.
