This is Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown is the teacher at Skagit County Juvenile Detention Center. When I was 15 and in school in the Juvie, somehow, someway, the conversation came up that he has been to graduations for past inmates with pizza and other crazy stuff. I told him he needed to come to my graduation in a dress! He laughed and said, ‘Cesar I’ll even jump up and down and say that’s my son!’ I simply said OK and went on with my day. I never went back to Juvie. Almost 3 years later (yesterday) I called him and gave him the news. Mr. Brown kept his word like a real man would and showed up in a beautiful dress! With his wife behind the camera, I thanked them for coming and showing me love. Against all odds I made if from Emerson back to the High School and graduated with only 5 1/2 credits starting junior year!! Anything is possible if you try!
