Ryan Dosumu-Johnson had a big decision to make the spring after his 18th birthday: apply for a promotion with RadioShack or enroll in classes at a community college. Though he came from a well-educated family—his father is a doctor and his sister a medical anthropologist—in high school he barely eked out a C average.

But, craving an intellectual challenge, he decided to give school another try, and in the fall of 2003 he enrolled in classes at southern California's Orange Coast College.
