Question:
What would be the best audience for an individual who has attended 13 schools (k-12)? They went through issues in life as a result of not having an education. They eventually ended up getting an AS, BS, MA and are a year away from having a Doctorate.
Answer:

Dear Mr. Jones,
It sounds as though there may be many audiences that would be informed and inspired by such a success story. I would start by contacting local schools, especially alternative schools and those attended by youth who are confronted with many adverse life conditions. Another good place to start might be non-profit organizations serving troubled youth or juvenile justice officials. It would seem that any organization working with youth and young adults who need such inspiration and an example that tells them that it is possible would benefit. If you are referring to yourself, congratulations on your amazing success!
