It was in the past two years that Aaron Segura was always sinking at West Mesa High School in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The16-year-old student was         in golf, but his       was anothermatter. Aaron was “just walking through the chapters hard “in courses like chemistry, his grades were low, and he was         todropping out. It was not that Aaron didn't have         ； it simplydidn't exist in his large, impersonal public high school.
Then his mother heard about Albuquerque's Charter VocationalHigh School(特立职业高中)，a place where students      plenty of one-on-one attention. Something else      Aaron evenmore.

With this sort of instruction, Moon knew he could   students like Aaron, who might have a       time in traditional high schools. He'd also be filling an increasing        acrossNew Mexico for skilled labor.
