I remember when I was in 8th grade, I went to spend the day with Mommy Akanbi to help her pack away her shop with Yewande. As I was packing things in their spots, I spotted this really beautiful set of jewelry! It was gold and so gorgeous! I said "I have to have this." She said I should tell my mom when she comes to get us. Hours later when my mom arrived, I showed it to her and she said maybe later. I was sad but determined to get it lol. For my birthday that year she said she had a surprise for me. She brought the set of jewelry and I scream, jumped, everything lol. She held it and said "I'll give this to you but with one acception!" Turns out the exception was that I had to promise I'd go to Walnut Hills for high school haha. Of course I made the promise and worn them for my very first homecoming Although I didn't attend Walnut for high school, I still know I made her very proud of my accomplishments at Clark Montessori and now at The Ohio State University. Good times... Good time :)
