PHILADELPHIA - "It's August 5th? When I take flight. Yeah," said Destiny Jackson whose dream of going to Spelman College is just days away from coming true.
It's an Atlanta HBCU, Historically Black Colleges and Universities. "I'm nervous but I'm excited at the same time," she said.
Destiny chose Spelman out of more than 50 colleges and universities that wanted and accepted her. "It was like blessings on blessings and I didn't think that I was going to be here but thank God I am," she said.
We introduced you to Destiny back in May. Today this bubbly teen with an infectious smile, laugh and tons of tenacity can't believe what lies ahead. "It's more than words can explain but I'm beyond grateful," she said.
