‘7 / ’s been a long road getting from there to here.

I t’s been a long time but your time is finally near. ”

Those words are a perfect description o f your scholastic life, from the time you first attended Our Lady Queen o f Angels and they saw something special in you. So special that they requested that you be skipped from first grade to third grade. We thought it was a mistake when you received your first report card and your high nineties turned to eighties, but your teachers convinced us to be patient. You proved them right and you continued to excel. We then transferred you to an accelerated school A t the Talented and Gifted Institute fo r Young Scholars you continued your quest to be the best student you could be and it was rewarded. You were invited to participate in the LANG program at the Museum o f Natural History where your interest in science was nourished so much that you moved into the next phase o f the program and completed the High School Science Research Program.

When you graduatedfrom elementary school and you chose the Academy o f Mount Saint Ursula your mother and I were worried and petrified, not that the school was too difficult fo r you but that our little girl would be traveling across the Bronx all by herself. You again showed us that you could achieve and do whatever you put your mind to. MSU was probably the best choice you have made on your own. This is evident in the number o f colleges that have said that they would be delighted to have you attend.

I still remember the day you were born and I left your mother’s side to be with my first-born child, my daughter, and my little girl! I also remember the joy in your mother’s face as I brought you over to her and she gazed at you fo r the first time. You have made both o f us proud throughout your life and we are sure that you will continue to make the right choices in life. We know you do not always take the road most traveled but we know that you travel that road to its end.

As you stand at the threshold o f your life we want you to know we are very proud o f the young lady you are and the woman we know you will become. We also want you to know that we will always be there to Support and Love you throughout our lives.

Love, Mommy & Daddy

To Dryettc: my b i l l , my buddy, my §i§ter. my twin, my mentor, my hoinie. mv et.c runes must b e strange if I can remember when we werent friends, y et cannot remember exactly how we became friends. I do know we became friends our sophomore year, and throughout these three years, our friendship has grown closer, and we have truly learned how much we have in codunon. We may appear opposites to everyone: mini/midgeL you, and big/gigantic me. However friendship outshines the appearances, and lies deep in the hearts and minds o f the individuals. 1 can honestly say Ive grown as a person with you as my friend. Pause...lol Youve never lied to ne. you told me when my hair was jacked up, you kept me on top o f my studies, you were always there, and you continuously have my back. \ouve taught me to listen more, and you have made me more open-minded. You being my friend means alot to me, and being your friend means just as much. 1 enjoy being your friend because 1 can only b e myself, and Ive never had to pretend to b e something 1 wasnt. The funny thing is that we think just alike. W ere tlie unofficial Tia & Tamara. There is nothing too big or so minute that can break our friendship, and thats the b est thing. 1will always have your back. 1 wish you the b e s t in life, and I know you will choose the b est in life

To &arahn: >ly (Si§ter....Turtld!!! Hahahaha We both know that we were destined to become friends-, there was no avoiding that! Words cannot even describe our friendship. You are beautiful in every aspect o f life, and I admire you to the fullest Youre strong and independent, youre smart hardworking, youre confident, you stand your ground and the list g o es on, but you know Im not going to bo o st your ego. From day one at Ursula, you were there lor me. You listened when I thought no one heard, you helped when you saw me down, and again you listen still, even when no one hears. You have truly been a blessing to my life, in ways 1 cant even describe, Youre easy to talk to, and you know 1 enjoy your company. 1 cant even specify how generous youve been to me, but you have definitely taught me to value life. You know I have nothing but love for you and that Im always here for you, no matter where life may take us. Success is calling your name, and on your way send me some please!!!

To Naivtna: 7 yeara deep blood ia really thicker than water Yep its been a long time, and 1 still remember our &. Charles days. Naiyma, I loved you then, and 1 still love you now. Theres absolutely nothing tliat can tear us apart Every decision you make, every ste p you take, remember Im here for you, and I got your back. You know where Nana is.

Dont let anything stop you from doing you, because you have potential, youre determined, and youre too strong to not achieve your goals.

Keep your head up. and stay true to yourself

To Fabiola aka FAB aka Fabuliciu-s (hope I <spelt that right): Truly inspirational

fab, I am truly honored to b e your friend. Knowing you has definitely shown me the hope and prosperity for todays people. 1 respect and admire you, and I can only wish you the b e s t life has for you. Youre beautiful and G od will definitely use you as an instrument of his peace.

To ^hamikah: ^himmy&hamJamDock Sham, Ive definitely enjoyed being one o f your friends. Youre beyond kind, your genuine, reliable, loyal, smart, dependable, and I could trust you with anything. Everyone looks up to you. especially me, and I wish you the b e st in life.

•To Ashley: Sleepy!!!

You know that youre a very beautiful young lady, and you b e tte r remember that. I admire you because youre honest and open (and Ive become more open because o f you), fun, outgoing, cheerful, nice, and a great person to b e around. Dont let anything, anyone, or nothing discourage you from reaching your goals. And I mean it too. Always believe in yourself!!! b e st wishes in life!!

I’d Termica: Lady Tee/M§. DooG ro/Black Queen ^hen you came junior year, I knew there was something about you that drew me to you. Its definitely your individuality and personality. Dont |hangc who you are for anyone. Youre persona is beautiful and it will take you far. Wish you the b est in life and keep ya head up!

To Erika: Erik Erika, you are definitely the most realest. no-nonsense-person Ive ever met. 1 definitely admire you for that. When times are hard. 1 can definitely sec your face hehehe . Keep smiling, writing (III read when you need me to), and I wish you the best!!!

To Keianna: Keii.

You know what you Lol Harpo, but thats our lil secret. I wish you the best, and I got nothing but love for yalll!
