And these stories inform you about issues and programs and people that help you navigate everyday life as well as make long-term decisions about where you want to live, send your children to school or where you want to work.

IndyStar needs your support to find stories like Dalia's

I think about Dalia Mendoza, and why I do what I do professionally. Dalia was 14 years old when she gave birth to her daughter in the west Texas desert town of Kermit.

That last fact really mattered. In Texas, the valedictorian of a high school qualified for a tuition scholarship at a state university. Her school district said she wasn’t eligible for the honor because it had to go to a senior.
