June 28, 2010: Center for Literacy Commencement Ceremony













Introducing your graduating class of 2010!!
If life has taught me one thing, it is that each of us are on our own journey, with our unique purpose. Each of the distinguished graduates represented different walks of life that met at a point of resolve: a commitment to face challenges head on and complete their high school diploma. I would especially like congratulate the class valedictorian Tiffani Gunner (pictured) on her outstanding achievement--continue striving for excellence (and of course consider Drexel Univ. for your next step!)
Our commencement speaker for the evening was the one and only, activist and writer extraordinare Sonia Sanchez (pictured)! Her creative energy and enthusiasm were the perfect catalyst to the conferral of diplomas.
An emphasis on education ( in any form) is a major part of my platform because it affords one the ability to view and interact with the world around you in ways previously unimaginable. Thus it is a critical component of restoring our communities. Kudos and kudos again to all of the graduates---this is only the beginning!
