Overcoming hurdles
Two remarkable graduation stories from Bethany Bump over at the Times Union: The Schenectady teen who overcame poverty and its many challenges, as well as mental illness, to become the first person in her family to graduate from high school. And in Albany, a Karen refugee who came here at age 9 and had to learn English -- and graduated from Albany High School this past weekend as an International Baccalaureate candidate. [TU x2]
