Tell us why they deserve to be nominated!

Perseverance! Due to us having to move twice during her high school years, she had to attend 3 different high schools in 4 years. She managed to stay positive and meet people along the way. She also set a goal to attend an HBCU for college and will be attending Jackson State University in the Fall!

What's one thing you want everyone to know about your graduating student nominee?

She is strong-willed, independent and goal-oriented. She doesn't let what others think or say effect her goals on life.
