Cue the inspiration! Cue the goose pimples! Cue the pride you will feel when you listen! Often times on the internet we come across stories of exceptional students all over the world bound for even more exceptional things and marvel at their accomplishments. But we chalk it up to a rare phenomenon that happens outside of our realm and most times, outside of Jamaica. But these three ladies prove that to be wrong and you have got to hear their stories and how the amazing @college_quo helped them to realize their academic dreams. Remember their names because we KNOW you’re going to hear them again in the future.
