Last night, I learned that my mother had to work since she was 14 years old. No one came to her high school graduation. She decided to go to college because her friends at work told her that she was smart. She applied to a local college and studied on the New York City trains and at night to get her undergraduate degree.

Major love and peace to you Miss Sulmers!” Major Peace and Love to you! I’ll be honest, it’s been a REALLY tough month.
