Life Skills Center of Dayton spotlighted graduates

Leah James

Leah James enrolled in Life Skills of Dayton in February 2005.

Leah was searching for a school in which she could stay focused and remain on track and achieve her goal of graduation.

The appeal of attending school for only four hours a day, working at your own pace, and the opportunity to work lead Leah to Life Skills.

Beginning with eight credits, Leah knew it was going to be a long way to graduation, and in order to achieve success she would need to stay focused. At times this was difficult, especially with the unexpected death of her mother.

Although Leah is credit complete, she has continued to attend school to serve as a mentor for others.

Leah will graduate with her mother in her heart and with her loved ones by her side.

Artesa Hopkins-Dewberry

Artesa Hopkins-Dewberry enrolled in Like Skills of Dayton in March 2006.

Since that time, Artesa—the mother of two and wife—earned 12.75 core credits from Life Skills, thus allowing her to graduate this June.

In order to graduate in June, Artesa focused on her academic studies and earned six core credits in a two-month period, making her by far our most studious student.

Because Artesa’s home life is busy—how could it not be with both Artesa and her husband working full time and raising two kids — she was happy to take advantage of Life Skills’ flexible schedule and graduate with her high school diploma.
