“My life can be summed up in the words ‘wasn’t supposed to,’” Mills said. “I wasn’t supposed to get out of my neighborhood. Wasn’t supposed to go to Annapolis. Wasn’t supposed to work on Wall Street, and wasn’t supposed to be married for 25 years and have three great children.” The 50-year-old Sterling resident credits a turning point that put him on the path to success: In 1966, his mother enrolled him in one of the first Head Start programs after seeing a flier at church." "Advocates say the most compelling results [of Head Start] are the life stories of those who graduated from it. “They are the proof that Head Start really does work, that it does what it sets out to do, which is to get people to succeed in life and to improve families and communities,” said Yasmina Vinci, executive director for the National Head Start Association."
