THE THOMPSONS WERE OUT IN<br />

FULL EFFECT<br />

In support of the youngest Thompson,<br />

who is destined to be a brain surgeon.<br />

Ms. Aliyah Thompson graduated with<br />

honors . She was honored among the<br />

elite of the class of 2019<br />

When Ms. Aliyah was at the tender age<br />

of 5, she was asked what she intended<br />

to grow up to be. Her response, a doctor.<br />

I was in awe.<br />

So I took the liberty of asking ;<br />

“Okay you’re going to fix my small and<br />

large intestine?”<br />

She quickly retorted, “No Uncle Prince,<br />

I am going to take out your brain fix it<br />

and put it back in.”<br />

This response from my five year old<br />

niece blew me away. She wanted to be<br />

a brain surgeon and neurologist. As I<br />

made my way to the entrance at the<br />

auditorium, a beautiful lady in a red<br />

dress was handing out the programs,<br />

while collecting admission tickets. She<br />

asked my brother Kenny and I, who we<br />

had come to support. When he told<br />

her Aaliyah Thompson, and she replied<br />

“My premed student”, I began to cry,<br />

overwhelmed with the joy of knowing<br />

she had stuck with her original intent.
