Turning Point - Countdown to Graduation 2019

Alyssa Rudeen represents Turning Point in this year’s Countdown to Graduation. She has overcome many challenges to reach the graduation stage, but her sights are set high. She helps mentor other students in math, is finishing woodworking projects at school, and strives to become a pediatric nurse someday because she wants to help children. She is also going to deliver the speech for her class at graduation ceremonies next month!
“[In the future, I’ll] just keep going, like I did in high school. Don’t let anything stop me, even if it is rough, just keep going. Because once you get to the top of the mountain, it’s a really beautiful view.” - Alyssa
