Kassandra's Story


Picture

“Before my pregnancy, I didn’t care about graduating high school and certainly not about attending college.
​My son motivates me to make positive decisions and be successful in life.” 
Kassandra was 15 years old when she found out she was pregnant in March 2012. Her family was too upset to speak with her, and she didn’t know where to turn. A nurse suggested Kassandra call Teen Success, Inc. Kassandra was excited about the opportunity to meet other young mothers who would understand what she was going through.
 
Several weeks after finding out she was pregnant, Kassandra joined Teen Success, Inc. She credits the program with changing her perspective on her life and future and giving her the knowledge that she can succeed, for herself and her son, Johnathan Eden.
 
Kassandra has become a role model for other young mothers in San Jose. After completing the program, she continued participating in Teen Success, Inc. as a peer leader to help encourage and support current program participants.
 
In 2015, Kassandra was awarded a Teen Success, Inc. scholarship to pursue her dream of becoming a nurse. Today, Kassandra is attending San Jose City College and continues to work towards her goal. Kassandra has remained involved and passionate about Teen Success, Inc. She is determined to give back to the program that she credits with giving her so much.
