In the photo, all five graduates post with their mortarboards, with “2017” written on each.

As a single mother, Lawanda had to put her education goals on hold as she raised her family. But in 2010, she decided to go back and finish school.
“It’s just the first step,” Lawanda said. “It’s a stepping stone to completing my next degree.”
