Life is never easy, but there are times when it feels like everything is against you. Tyra Hodge grew up feeling the world''s weight pressing down on her. A nagging feeling awakened, whispering how she would never amount to anything the older she got. Daunted by the increasing demands of education and her private struggles, Tyra turned away. It proved to be one of the seminal moments of her life. Tyra found herself on the streets, doing what she had to survive daily-endless hours spent in strip clubs, hooked on drugs, and spiraling deeper into desperation consumed her. Tyra soon arrived at the end of her strength, hoping each breath was her last. 

Then the remarkable happened. Life, having oppressed her for so long, provided her with the opportunity to change everything. Tyra jumped. Instead of wallowing in her grief, she discovered a new life filled with hope and promise. A Rewritten Story is Tyra''s remarkable journey. Emotional and raw, it follows her through the bad times and into the best time of her life. Once a hopeless child of the streets, Tyra became a teacher, won teacher of the year, earned her position as an assistant principal, and finally, a district coordinator. Tyra, a highly sought national speaker, educates teachers on how to work with the roughest student. Tyra''s story is the inspiration we all need, even if we don''t know it.
