Her life, as well as her - Ghandi see in the world. children’s, was transformed through education. “Raised in the foster care system, my siblings and I lost count of the many homes we were placed in over the years. As a child, school was a refuge for me. It was one of the few places that I could go that was clean, well-lit and positive. I got married and dropped out of school in the ninth grade. By 22, I was divorced with two kids. In 2008, I had an opportunity to get a better-paying job, but I needed a high school diploma. After 27 years of being out of school, I enrolled in IRSC’s GED® Program. When I graduated, my advisor asked if I planned to continue my education. Until then, I had forgotten all about my dream to become a teacher. My advisor encouraged me and helped me fill out a scholarship application. I checked my e-mail every day awaiting a response. I cannot describe the emotion that I felt when I received the scholarship. I was overwhelmed with excitement knowing that someone believed in me and was willing to give me a chance. Last year, I received my Associate’s Degree with High Honors. I was selected to be on the Phi Theta Kappa All-Academic team and was the Adult Education graduation speaker. I am currently enrolled in the Bachelor’s Degree program in Exceptional Student Education. I am a member of the Mentors Club and a trainer with the Children’s Services Council “Kids at Hope” initiative. I never imagined any of these things would be possible considering where I came from.

We had little to no money and we lived with my aunt and her family in a mobile home until we could get established. dimensions. - Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. I struggled throughout grade school to understand English. I stayed after school for tutoring, and would go to my neighbor’s house for help with my homework, since my parents did not know any English. During my freshman year in high school, my teacher encouraged me to apply for the Take Stock in Children Scholarship. Until then, the thought never crossed my mind that I could go to college. I told my teacher that I was going to be a laborer just like my parents. He convinced me that college was a possibility if I received a scholarship. Two months later, I received the news that I was chosen to receive a four-year Take Stock in Children scholarship. This scholarship motivated me to maintain outstanding grades and behavior, stay drug-free, and participate in mentoring sessions during high school. After I graduated from high school, I earned my Associate in Science Degree in Electrical Engineering Technology from Indian River State College. I continued my education and received a Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering Technology from the University of Central Florida. To me, education symbolizes opportunity, knowledge, art, wisdom, and a better future. I feel blessed to have been afforded this opportunity and I believe it is important to give back.

Most analyses of public radio listening examine the performance of individual stations within this large mix, the contributions of specific national programs, or aggregate numbers for the system as a whole. This report takes a different approach. Through an extensive, multi-year study of 228 stations that generate about 80% of public radio’s audience, we review patterns of listening to groups of stations categorized by the formats that they present. We find that stations that pursue different format strategies – news, classical, jazz, AAA, and the principal combinations of these – have experienced significantly different patterns of audience growth in recent years and important differences in key audience behaviors such as loyalty and time spent listening. This quantitative study complements qualitative research that the Station Resource Group, in partnership with Public Radio Program Directors, and others have pursued on the values and benefits listeners perceive in different formats and format combinations. Key findings of The Public Radio Format Study include: • In a time of relentless news cycles and a near abandonment of news by many commercial stations, public radio’s news and information stations have seen a 55% increase in their average audience from Spring 1999 to Fall 2004.
