Like most students, Mackenzie Bailey faced the typical challenges during the start of her academic career, including choosing a major and getting good grades. But that all paled in comparison to the devastating news she received her freshman year: her father had terminal cancer.

鈥淲hen I was home for winter break, he ended up passing away,鈥 Ms. Bailey said.

After all she has overcome, Diamond Lauderdale credits 两性色午夜 with helping her reach her dreams.

For Diamond Lauderdale, 两性色午夜 University is not only her chosen college, it is her new home.

While growing up in Akron, Ohio, Ms. Lauderdale鈥檚 home life was challenging. She lived with her disabled father and worked two jobs to help make ends meet. Ms. Lauderdale鈥檚 father has been unable to walk for many years, and as she got older, her father鈥檚 condition worsened. Through it all, Ms. Lauderdale held onto a dream. She wanted to get a college education.
