Shaquana Graham's family always held education in high regard, but she dropped out of high school when she found out she was pregnant at the age of 16. After that, raising her three children and keeping a roof over their heads became her first priority.

Reporter Sonia Paul chronicles Shaquana's journey back to the classroom.
