Fox News
A recent high school graduate found a way to honor his late mother after he earned his diploma a year early.
His mother, Teresa Colbert, died from cancer on May 12, 2019, which is a day Morgan will never forget because it also landed on Mother’s Day that year, KJ said. KJ Morgan threw himself into his studies and enrolled in both high school and college classes during his junior year all while juggling part-time work as a hair braider.
