Michelle Grandberry wanted to stop hanging out with people who she said weren't good for her.She found help at Life Skills Center of Elyria.
"I'm not around a lot of kids who were a bad influence and I'm able to work at my own pace," said Grandberry, 17, an Elyria resident who started attending the school in March. "You don't have to worry about being in a rush to get your work done."
"When she first came to us, she had problems interacting with other students and fighting," Title One Reading teacher Crystal Garmon said. "She wasn't able to focus and keep track.
We didn't know what to expect. But she has really rebounded and separated herself from negative influences. She comes in, sits down and gets to work. She's becomes self-sufficient. After she leaves, she will take some of the spark out of my classroom."
