Cinthya Rodriguez is the mother of 20-month-old Javin, who "is the best gift ever in my life. He is so special to me."

She says the teachers at the Florence Crittenton School have helped her immensely. "They are still helping me to graduate, and to fill out applications for scholarships, so that I can go to college."

She is pleased she will be able to graduate from high school despite being a teen mom, because of the support she received.

At the Early Learning Center, where her son spent his days while she studied, Cinthya says "he learned a lot of stuff and manners."

Cinthya plans to go to cosmetology school and get married.
