This post is more important, than any Rhianna or Jay - Z post or “Who Rocked It Better” post.
This is our future, this is our present. We need to change the DNA of our culture.
I love the fact that were honoring our graduates.

@ Crystal heck my mother was 30 when she finished getting her hs diploma from some adult school and 32 when she went on to get some higher education….age don’t stop you…I see people as old as 60 in classes with me and other youth under 25 getting first degrees or finishing. Don’t know you but I believe in you and much success.
@ 77 I concur.
@ 53.KC I say the same to myself… I think it’s like you those are our people right there……whether we know them or not it’s because they show some of the best of us and it’s something vs what most media likes to portray us as (gangbangers, murderous, leeches, etc.).

Congratulations to all of the graduates! What a wonderful wonderful post–I actually teared up, especially when I read Crystal’s sincere determination and resolve to complete her education. You can do it girl and when it starts to get a little tough, think about all these smiling faces and your CL friends cheering you on from the sidelines.
