Since graduating from FHS, I continued my education Buffalo State College. My major at Buffalo State is Social Work. This year, I am a senior. I have almost completed my four years of college and I am ready to further my education with a Masters degree. Right now, I am in the process of applying to graduate school. Some of my graduate schools consist of SUNY Albany, Stony Brook, Rutgers and Hofstra University. College life opens your eyes to the real world because there is not an individual that will hold your hand every step of the way. A person has to learn how to become independent. 

                I am proud to say I am an independent African American young woman who has maintained over a 3.0 GPA for my 4 years as an undergrad student. Currently, I intern at my school’s health center. I create and conduct programs based on risky behaviors, drugs and alcohol, nutrition and sexually transmitted infections and diseases.

                For the students who complain about the length of the papers for the panels and PBATS, trust me. When you enter college you will be grateful FHS prepared for that type and style of writing. Just remember to always strive to be the best you can be, and do not let anyone tell you anything different.

                 Congrats to the class of 2015. Keep up the good work.

Sincerely,

 Shernice Johnson Class of 2011
