Graduation.

It breaks my heart...
To receive a phone call from my mentee last night.
He asked me to attend his high school graduation.

Huge accomplishment for his as a Khmu who lost his sister to gang violence and growing up in a city that has every reason to pull u every direction from academics. Yet, he switched to multiple different schools cuz the teachers were fucking up his classes having take the same damn class over and over again.

But I'm in Michigan. So I won't be able to see him walk across that stage knowing he gave it everything and more to be handed that diploma today.

It broke my heart.
