After a mix-up with his assignments flunked him out of his classes, Dayton resident Jamel Head said he was able to find redemption at Life Skills Center of Dayton.
"I had surgery on my legs, they messed up my assignments and I flunked out (of classes)," Head said. "I needed to catch up and a counselor suggested I try Life Skills."
Head, who has attended the school for one year, said he was able to earn needed credits there.
"Having teachers who believe in you and want you to go somewhere and make something of your life is important," he said.
After graduation, Head, 19, said he wants to take business classes at Sinclair Community College in Dayton and is eyeing a career in Radio/TV production.
"I want to own my own television station," he said.
