King College Graduation

I have mentored Markida since she was in 8th grade.  We've done a lot in those past 5 years....more recently her first plane ride to Washington DC this past fall to visit her dream school, Howard University.  She was accepted and earned a Gates Millennial Scholarship (read that - full ride!)
 
My mom and I were beyond thrilled to attend her graduation.  Michelle Obama was the speaker and it was a huge event for all her classmates.
 


In memory of their classmate who was caught in gang crossfire.

The speakers were fantastic.




Especially Michelle, I highly recommend you YouTube the speech...very inspirational.







Family shot!

Congratulations Kida!  I am beyond proud of you and so excited for what lies ahead!
