[LM_NET] SEC: Short stories to motivate high schoolers

[Nicole Knott <knottNi@WATERTOWNPS.ORG>]

Hi,

A teacher in my building has a very unmotivated group this year. She is looking for 
a short story, set of interviews, or statistics to explain the value of staying 
motivated during high school to these students. I have already found a few 
graduation speeches that drive the point home as well as some data about lifetime 
earning discrepancies between high school graduates and college graduates from that 
National Center for Education Statistics website. Does anyone know of any other 
resources that might drive the point home with this group?

Much appreciated,
