- I could not agree more with the two comments above. I expected, after the gushing introduction, to hear a story of a young woman who "made it" out of poverty. Instead I heard a story of a promising student who wasted her scholarship and fell into the same trap everybody else seems to who does not qualify for a scholarship. Talk about waste. Then she ends up in a homeless shelter and gets pregnant again! I feel sorry for her, and I do hope she will pull out of her precarious situation and go back to college to get a foundation for a good life (and yes, a college education still signifies higher earnings, especially once we are out of this recession), but I must admit, the first question that popped into my head is - what ever happened to birth control? It's not brain surgery how not to get pregnant.
And, sorry, Farai, but a "committed relationship" doesn't quite cut it. She IS a single mother, and this guy could disappear at the drop of a hat.
Most of all, I wonder about the reporter's judgment. Was there no other story out there that deserved to be told that did not need such an obvious slant in order to sound optimistic?
