Congratulations to Everyone! This brings tears to my eyes as well, I love to see our people doing something positive. I have less than one year to go myself, and this motivates me to do my best!
And this message is to #14,
Don’t worry girl! I had to leave school when I had my baby, and I too was worried because I basically had to start all over and all my HS classmates have already graduated. But don’t worry. Keep your head up! It’s better late than never. And whether you’re 19 or 99, when you walk across that stage to get your DEGREE…Girl, it is all worth it!
