Welcome back to a special edition of Education Disruption. Over the next few weeks we'll be talking to students of Map Academy that are preparing to graduate amidst a myriad of disruption. We'll hear the stories of how these students found Map, and why Map has worked so well for them

Today we talk to Zo, who struggled to go to school every day in part because of bullying, and also because of her diabetes. Mom tried to step in and work with the school, but didn't get much help. Fortunately, they found Map Academy.
