YaBoy posted a link to an article about this young woman a couple of weeks back. Sounds like Georgetown got another great kid that earned herself an opportunity to do big things. Best of luck to her!

Another feel good story of an incoming student: linkThanks for that CWS. Ms. Sanchez and her parents should be incredibly proud. Recruiting has really stepped up across the board!

YaBoy posted a link to an article about this young woman a couple of weeks back. Sounds like Georgetown got another great kid that earned herself an opportunity to do big things. Best of luck to her! Figured folks, @yaboynyp included, might appreciate a quick update: Rashema graduates from Georgetown this weekend. You're going to see some human interest stories highlighting this fact. For example: Just a couple of other facts I'd like to highlight, as someone who had the privilege of getting to know Rashema just a very little bit. First, it was not a straightforward path for her once she got to the Hilltop, as she alludes to here: There was some additional press (e.g., here) that went into that saga if you are so interested. It's a valuable glimpse at life beyond the initial flurry of feel-good headlines. Second fact: There are many more young people in the District and beyond with the kind of potential and drive that Rashema has - she'd be the first to say so. Her story should not be a one-off, but rather a reminder that social uplift is a core part of Georgetown's mission. Third and final fact: however impressive you might imagine she is... she's all that and more. The alumni community is enormously enriched by her entry.

I had seen a brief article on Twitter and had intended to post it but forgot to do so. Thanks so much for the links and for the personal perspective.

Had a chance to catch up with Rashema today. She's had some incredibly tough moments since graduation, but also some great highs, and is doing very well right now. You'll be able to hear about all that and more in her upcoming memoir: parkfine.com/client/rashema-melson/
