had been answered.
On May 9, 2015 my life
changed forever. I was given the
opportunity to speak in front of
3,000 guests and graduates to
bring greetings to the senior class
of 2015, addressing them one last
time at their final curtain call. The
ceremony was also live streamed
nationally.
I was extremely nervous, but
after meeting the First Lady, she
gave me reassurance, telling me

control. After my speech, I was
greeted with a “great job” by her.
Although the conversation was
brief, she shared with me the ad-
vice to always remain a leader,
have strength in all that I do, never
let anyone get in the way of my
dreams, and to always remember
to help those coming behind me.
Those words I will never forget
and I am reminded each day with
this quote by her, “When you’ve
worked hard, and done well, and
walked through that doorway of
opportunity, you do not slam it
shut behind you, you reach back,
and you give other folks the same
chances that helped you succeed.”
