Photographing Kylon was one of the best times I've had as a photographer who sometimes photographs seniors. I absolutely cannot believe all of the things that this young man has accomplished in just his high school years. This guy is going into his first year of college as a junior. Yes, you read that right. He completed the first two years of his college coursework while in high school! Can you believe that?! When he and his mom explained why he had two different cap and gowns, I felt like I could run laps with excitement. I certainly was not that great of a student in high school, so when I hear about young black men accomplishing this, I can't help but feel an immense amount of joy.
Kylon, I've already said it once, but I'll say it once more. I'm very proud of you and what you have managed to accomplish thus far! Continue to grind and put in the work. The fruits of your labor will taste sweet when the time comes!
