Dustin’s Story: Missouri High School Success • Dustin Ford, St. Louis high school student • Cisco Networking Academy was his ‘last chance’ to gain success in school, and it kept him from dropping out • Access the video: http://www.cisco.com/go/netacadresourcecenter • “During my sophomore year, I was seriously considering dropping out of high school. And then a representative from the tech school came and spoke at [my school], and I decided that I would check it out. This was going to be my last chance. • I liked the presentation on Cisco Networking Academy. I wanted to have a real job when I got out of high school, and Cisco offered that. Now I know what college I’m going to, and when I’m going. I know what job I want and what I’m working towards.” • -Dustin Ford, graduate, Cisco Networking Academy, Pattonville HS, St. Louis, MO
