 Girls Incorporated of Omaha -- Bad grades and a bad attitude might have doomed a certain Omaha high school student. That’s IF she hadn’t somehow found her way to a special place for young women, one that’s supported by United Way donors. The teenager was connected with a tutor, and with a counselor who spent a lot of time talking with her about the choices she made in school and at home. It took awhile, but slowly, the young woman decided to give school a little more effort. She started to see the effect her attitude had on the way people treated her. That’s when her flunking physics grade turned from an "F" to a "B", and she’s taken summer school to catch up with her fellow students in other classes. Now, she’s determined to graduate, and on-time too!
