American Dream: Battling through tough times
Shaneka Williams, 18, works three days a week at Advocares Child Services in Stone Mountain. Here she plays with Gabbie Johnson (crawling out of bus) and Jade Lassiter. She's interviewing for full-time jobs through a youth program called Young People Matter, which helps teenagers find jobs to help their financially strapped families. Joey Ivansco / jivansco@ajc.com
