Katrina, a student at Crosswalk uploads the day's newscast to the eMerge MySpace while her daughter, Madi, takes a nap.

Students at Crosswalk, often struggling against great odds and balancing school, providing for themselves and others, and teen life, exemplify the creativity and determination needed to succeed in life. On Tuesday and Thursday mornings a group gathers to do the news. They disect local papers and rewrite the stories they think are of most importance to other teens. They also write original news stories and find ways to incorporate their other studies into the newscast.
