YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWhen Hajira Attah graduated from high school in 2013, she wanted to be the first one in her family to go to college but she had a 1.7 GPA and low SAT scores. All eight colleges she applied to rejected her. Then she heard about Johnson C. Smith University. It was the one school willing to "take a risk" on her, she says.
