A woman with a difficult past has made it her mission at a Treasure Island charter school to keep troubled teens from going down the same path.
Without hesitation, Nathan Pittman flows freely among classmates in a theater class he once never would have joined. 'It's about being open, being your true self, being comfortable with being your true self,' said Pittman.It's a very different side of the 18-year-old, who not long ago, was quickly spiraling down a dark path. 'Some of the fights I ended up hurting the kids real bad, and I was arrested for it,' said Pittman.
She initiated the years-long endeavor after a student died off-campus of a burst appendix, with no medical attention and no parents in her life, like many students at the school. 'They can have this beautiful environment, live with a bunch of other kids who all get along. They cook together and they eat together. We have created a family environment,' said Delane. Its culinary class brings some 60 students together for daily meals, as they take turns in the kitchen.
