Accompanying Ms. Osgood was Cynthia Curtis, Desiree Fair, April Homer and Doris Loving. Each of the students had an opportunity to address teh Senate membership and tell her personal story. Ms. Osgood also addressed the Senators, telling them that even "...if all the current people seeking literacy services were met, we would not see the end of the problem because each year in Baltimore more than 4,000 high school students drop out."
