For the past few weeks we've been looking at how gun violence in Oakland affects school kids there. In the first part of our series "Books and Bullets," we met a nine-year-old girl wounded by gunfire.

Today, we wrap up the series with a mother determined to help her kids follow their dreams, despite the troubles around them.
