Glad to see her doing the works of a positive citizen. See when its something positive most people have no comments. But if it was time to tear people apart it would be 300 comments. Oh well Monica looks good and thanks for letting our children know you care.

I’m glad to see Monica being recognized and kids getting scholarships. I can’t wait for her album and I hope Monica does well. No disrespect to her fans, but her last album, The Makings of Me, is one of the best albums of 2007-2008 no matter what anyone says. The CD was perfect. It was not promoted and they picked the wrong first single. Songs like “Doing Me Right”, “Why Her”, “Hell No”, and “A Dozen Roses”, define the way Monica is currently but on the other hand all could have been R&B hits.

You do know this is a positive post right? Congratulations young ladies! and thanks Monica and Tanya and Frank Ski, for recognizing our young ladies, and also helping them to achieve greatness.

I’m happy you said that; but you know the word for people who post negative stuff about people 24/7 is called “haters” and usually “followers,” and misery loves company. Nothings changed! If Angel had photoshopped Riri or Bey on this photo; it would’ve been over 300. You here congratulating real hard workers, shows a lot about your character, trust me.

Oh! Not to take away from the young ladies, but after I saw Monica on youtube talking. I have to say, I liked her a lot. Especially after seeing and hearing her explained “she is what you see” meaning, no fake hair and stuff. I felt her on this one. She seemed to real and down the earth. I loved seeing her this way.
I hope she is married. Today woman take having babies without being married to the father so lightly. It’s not about only you in the world; you do have young girls looking up to you, even if you don’t like it. I’m not just talking about Monique. I’m talking about us everyday ladies too.

One more thing - Tanya Ski looks like one of the students…She is so youthful. Without reading the caption, I knew she looked familiar but she looks like the seniors who are being celebrated.

Monica is always giving back not because you don’t hear about it. This is why I love this girl always positive. Frank ski is always giving back too don’t get it twisted do your research before u comment and black people why is everything about clothes and hair?

LMAOOO! I WAS THINKING IT BUT WASN’T GONNA SAY IT!
CONGRATS TO ALL THE STUDENTS DOING IT BIG. THAT’S DEFINITELY A GOOD LOOK.
& I REALLY HOPE CLAYTON COUNTY SCHOOLS WILL BE ABLE TO GET THEIR ACCREDITATION BACK! IF IT WEREN’T FOR SOME GREEDY SCANDALOUS PEOPLE BEHIND THE SCENES, THEY WOULD’VE NEVER LOST IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. SMH.
OH & MONICA YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL PERSON INSIDE & OUT..
