Never Too Late: Mary J. Blige Gets Her G.E.D.!!!

July 4, 2010 Front Page No Comments

If you don’t believe that your high school diploma is attainable, ask 75 year old Marjorie Elliot in California who attended her completion ceremony on June 30th, 2010. Hopefully, this is inspiring for a troubled youth or confused adult that can’t see the reality in ever receiving that piece of paper. If not, then take a look at Mary J Blige who has experienced the highs and lows of the music industry and at the height of her success, still felt obligated to finish up high school which, obviously, wasn’t a priority in her life years ago. Education is a right but is also a choice and that’s clearly displayed in these two scenarios.

The video below is from a fan cam and doesn’t have the best sound quality because of the crowds reaction but you should still be able to hear Mary speaking in the beginning about her recent accomplishments. Howard U? Thats whats up!!!
