As recent high school graduates head to college in the coming weeks, many have 'some' idea what they'd like to do with their lives.
One young woman, though, is making that journey with a solid plan in place that she's had for years, thanks to some unique opportunities that made it possible.

Tyra graduated from the Yes Prep schools and participated in an after-school program that offers additional instruction in academics, college readiness, work-skills, and how to be an entrepreneur. The school says they're vital tools for students. "I learned how to be independent; how to manage time; I learned how to be a leader: and I also learned how to be more interactive with people," was Tyra Clemons' take-away.Her growing business skills have meant an ever-growing list of clients who can spend hours, sitting for an appointment that leaves them with custom braids that cost a hundred dollars or more.
