I’m here for myself, but my father who has now moved on from this world wanted nothing more than to see me graduate. So after spending the last four months in prison I knew where I should be. I’m hoping that I’m headed towards my goals and my dreams. And more than anything showing my little girl how important education is.
Together, we can empower lives
