Congrats to Booker T. Washington High School on winning the President's Commencement Challenge! For winning the challenge, President Obama will speak at BTW's graduation ceremony. I would like to congratulate all of the BTW staff, parents, and students. BTW made the top 3 last week and this week it was announced they won! In case you missed them making the top 3, check it out over at the White House website.
The video they submitted really made me tear up!! I'm from South Memphis and I understand what some of those students are going through. The fact that they are set on not becoming statistics said so much. Those students are from an area where not finishing school is accepted. Where government assistance is a way of life. I could go on and on about this but I won't. Check out the video here:
