I never did get a chance to graduate until this day,” Lewis told WLOX.
Lewis was in the 10th grade when she dropped out of high school. Whenever she looked back to those days, she said she had always wished to finish her education.
The staff at the Gulfport Care Center, where Lewis has been admitted, helped make her wish come true. They reached out to Wells of South Gate, a religious organization and learning center that conducts adult classes.
“It’s a blessing to me and to my coworkers to be able to make this happen,” said Activity Director Lisa Perdue.
