15 Conclusions A majority of the students heard about the CBK program through a friend, staff member, or other sources. Students dropped out of school mainly due to prior failures in school or poor grades. Students decided to come back to school primarily because they wanted to earn a high school diploma and go to college, and they became aware of the difficulties in earning enough income without a diploma. Most students were not working. Many of them were students only. The CBK students academic aspirations were fairly high. More than half of the students who dropped out of school and came back to school would like to pursue an associate s degree or above. The highest percentage of students planned to pursue a career in the medical field. Students most important goals were independence. 12

17 Mission The Come Back Kids Program will inspire students to fulfill their academic, career, and personal goals. Students will prepare to earn their high school diploma, GED, or the California High School Proficiency Exam. 14
