Making College the Dream
Watch this inspiring video as student body president (North High School, Des Moines, IA) Russhaun Johnson introduces President Obama at a town hall with high school juniors, seniors, and their parents to discuss college access and affordability. Johnson, the son of a recovering drug addicted mother who was incarcerated for more than four years, said “education means the world to me because I no longer feel lost.”
