Description:

Lousy luck doesn't always lead to an unhappy ending. After a young girl got pregnant, she decided to pursue education to give her son a better future. One of our journalists wanted to profile this girl in a story about public education, but struggled with getting permission to do so. So she changed the story. Reporter Madeleine Anderson describes what it's like to pursue a story that's difficult to cover, but important to tell.
