Their annual banquet was Tuesday evening.

I was a mentor for six years. My first year I met a wonderful fifth grade young girl who became a beautiful young lady by the name of Josline Howard. What an exciting and wonderful ride I have had the pleasure of being on for the past six years. I would not have missed the ride for the world.
Josline is a very unique individual and there is no other like her and she will be graduating this year and I am so proud of her. Through all the hurdles she has made it, and I knew that she would, she only had to find her way, and of course she did. Way to go Josline!!
