"I broke two ribs my second class," says Marciano Mendiola, 29, who works with the mentally disturbed by day and seems to feel right at home with these classmates. One of them, Raymond ("Hurricane") Marcus, 18, got a $1,500 scholarship to the School of Hard Knocks. "He's part Soboba Indian, and the reservation gives out education grants," says his mother Sherri. "Jesse and Bill had to send letters...
