Overcoming Odds

The article I read is from the denver post online. It talked about a girl whose mom became pregnant in high school and had to drop out. This girl was raised in poverty because the mom had nothing. But in the end the girl ended up getting something more then materials. She had a mother who loved her deeply and told her and made sure she did not become pregnant. This girl overcame the odds of joining her mother and other teen girls in her town by not becoming pregnant in high school. I think in high school more then ever you have to overcome so many odds. For example, parents except ( well I guess not really "expect" but like know) that there kids will drink or get into drugs. When a teenager can go into high school and come out having never done that, they've beat the odds. I think its good that their are programs like DARE to help each individual try to beat the odds.
