PHOTO: ELLA STOKESA Dunedin student is helping to destroy the stigma of being a school dropout. For 20-year-old Ryan Jones it was extra special. Mr Jones left school at the age of 15 as he felt "school just wasn't for me''. Mr Jones said when he initially left school it felt like a "burden'' for him and "at the end of the day, school just wasn't for me''. He said as long as people who did leave school early stayed motivated and explored other options, there was nothing wrong with being a "high school drop-out''.
