“We had a Black Valedictorian, a Hispanic Salutatorian, and an Asian student in our top 10. There was a lot of diversity, and that made me really proud.”
“A month has passed since our mother passed away, and in that time I have found myself looking for answers, searching for anything that will help me figure out this process.”
