Welcome ! Education Pays – Get Yours is a pilot social marketing campaign targeting youth in the Mt. Pleasant, Slavic Village and Central neighborhoods of Cleveland, Ohio. The campaign started in December 2008 and is moving into its' final phase. You may have seen Education Pays-Get Yours billboards, bus signs, radio and tv ads, posters distributed by our street teams, etc. As part of the final push at promoting the importance of education we have established web blogs for each neighborhood. These social networking tools will give residents an opportunity to discuss the campaign and the importance of getting an education.

Blog Buddy: Doctor from the Neighborhood

 I was unconvinced that I could or should stay in college as I entered the second half of the first year. In fact the dean of admissions called me in to tell me I was not suited for college. This suggestion that I could not do college level work angered me and I dedicated to work harder. I soon learned hard work pays off with excellent grades. I am forever grateful that I did not drop out as I would have missed out on a most gratifying career of becoming a practicing medical doctor. Edgar B. Jackson, Jr., MD.
