Q: Who or what has helped motivate you to graduate? Share your shout-outs here!
Priscilla: I would love to give all six of my children a shout out first because they are truly the ones I'm doing this for! Next, I would love to thank ALL my teachers, Mr. Smith, Mrs. Gamit, and my school counselor Mr. McCoy, who is also my Life Coach! I’m constantly being praised and pushed out of my comfort zone to constantly be better and do better! I want to give a shout out to both of my TSAs, Esmeralda and Veronica. I’m constantly receiving useful information from them and they help me with any solutions I need help in! Also, to the wonderful staff members I work with that constantly motivate me, giving me wisdom and helping me to succeed in this so-called life!!! My supervisor Greg, Caroline and our Director Shawn!
