    I kept coming to this site just to see the graduates… Im tired of the celebs…. we as blacks are doing well and now we have the degrees to show it…. this is the best forum on here. I like the photo of the mother and father who graduated from college at the same time and their son was there to witness it….. everyone else looked beautiful…. keep up with the good work…. people who have their Bachelors…. dont stop there…. go get those graduate degrees….. High school graduates….. look at the college grads for inspiration…. and for the ones with the doctorates…. do your job to perfection and get that money and have a good life because you all deserve it…. Proud of you all…. you guys a showing kids thats it more to life than being out on the corner doing nothing
