More than a year ago I started working in a school named “Tulsa Hope Academy”. It is an alternative Christian school for “at risk youth”. It has been my privilege and challenge to work in a place like this. Here I was introduced to the director of this school Debra (Debbie), an amazing lady with a burning passion and zeal to bring change in the lives of the ‘at risk youth’ students who come here.
As I was working as a teacher, I got to see Debbie’s life personally. I could see her dedication and commitment to these students who gets a second chance at Tulsa hope Academy (THA) to mold their career and life. For some of them it is their last chance to prove themselves, graduate from high school. The students who come here have been through a lot of life’s struggles and faced many vivid challenges than a regular teenager. And that is one of the reasons they are here at THA.
