I had to pleasure of working with Aaliyah on my last trip to Tulsa. SHe is beautiful girl who will be graduating from Booker T Washington High School in the spring and hopes to get a scholarship to Oral Roberts University afterwards. When I asked her mother, Lacrisha, to tell me a little bit about her this is what she said,
She loves, loves, loves to read, and play volleyball for fun. She volunteers a lot at Victory Christian Center, where she works the kids area for the 11 o'clock service and helps the Tulsa Dream Center on their Super Saturdays to help the community's with whats needed. She a very emotional person with a sensitive heart. She has a servants heart, big time, if you ever need someone to help you house-sit, clean, or anything she is always there to help. She's a warrior when she needs to be, very strong. She's a pleasure to know and to have been given the opportunity to bring into this world.
I tear up just reading it. If that is not a proud mom, I don't know what is.
Best of luck in your upcoming graduation and future endeavors!
