The most unique gift I have ever recieved was my high school diploma. It took me five years to get it but I got it.
It was a gift I gave myself. It was a gift no one could give me.
Even through the struggles of passing my test, finding a tutor and even repeating a semester I still fought through to make sure I make something of myself.
Out of all my mother's childen I was the first one to get my high school diploma, which opens up the door to many opportunities.
