DODGE COUNTY, Ga. — Luz Cortez has spent months preparing for May 21st, her graduation day.
"It means so much to me because I would be the first one in my family's generation to graduate," Cortez said.
Like many seniors, Cortez took graduation pictures to share with her friends and family, but what she didn't know, was that one of the props used in the picture would cost her the opportunity to walk with her class.
