    This is a beautiful story and I hope it inspires many young girls that come from bad neighborhoods. Camden, NJ is one of the most neglected and dangerous cities with the highest rate of crime in NJ. It is not everyday when an adult decides to step up and become a role model for children in schools. Hopefully, others will follow and this lady deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for promoting peace and triumph.

    This lady took the graduation cap from below 49% to 100% in one year... while your government would rate it to take over generations to fix. (if they even try at all)
    all y'all thats still talking how she didnt pop out is the ones that missed the moral of it... prolly the same ones that watch as generations fall off to the captivating seas'

    Tawanda what a wonderful project you are doing with these girls and boys to keep them out of the mischief and showing them that there is a better way then the streets,drugs crime, abuse and so much more negativity in the world. You are empowering them and making the stronger, building up their self esteem. They may not have parents at home that help them the way that you do.
