Subject: [PATCH] fix: update dropout rate from <5% to <10% for consistency
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Aligns dropout rate with the 90%+ retention rate mentioned throughout the site.
This ensures consistent messaging about teaching impact and student success metrics.

Changed in two locations:
- The Journey section: "Teaching 100+ engineers... with a <10% dropout rate"
- Teaching & Mentorship section: "Consistently Lowest Dropout Rate: <10%"

This maintains the impressive achievement while being consistent with the
90%+ retention rate claim (90% retention = <10% dropout).
