A Georgia grandmother is thanking God she finally received her high school diploma on Saturday — 67 years after the date she would have graduated had she not dropped out.
Growing up with five siblings on a North Carolina tobacco farm, her father was pressed to earn more to support them all when the market went down. Smith later moved back Down South to Georgia, where she fostered a strong love for education in her children as she put her own school dreams aside to provide for them.
