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.
