For Shelice Escoffery, matriculating to university and studying to become an immigration officer isn’t just about her realising her dream. It symbolises the picture a proud parent had of her child’s future, a vision her late mother shared with anyone who would listen, right up until she took her last breath.
The 18-year-old has been crafting her story of success from birth. The only girl for both parents, she has six brothers and is the only one who has pursued higher education.
Shelice graduated from the Green Island Primary School with the second-highest grades for girls and was placed at the Manning s School in Westmoreland.
