An exceptional young Lady named Lamyrical Harris has set an outstanding record after emerging as the first-ever student of Trezevant High School in Tennessee that will win a $1 million scholarship to college.
Lamyrical Harris gave birth to a son while in junior class and despite being faced with the responsibility of taking care of her child, she emerged as the school’s valedictorian.
Her exceptional academic performance got her accepted into more than 24 universities across the United States securing her scholarship awards of $1,244,298. She narrated that her motivation to work harder spiked when she had her son.
“I was scared. It just made me go 10 times harder,” she told the news station.
