Pictured, from left, are Georgia First Lady Marty Kemp, Braylen Howell and Gov. Brian Kemp.
Gov. Brian Kemp was in the crowd, as were several hundred other people.
Braylen Howell never flinched, however, delivering a rousing speech at the Georgia School Association's recent conference in Savannah. Howell, the son of Latrina Howell, received a standing ovation following the 15-minute-long speech, which focused on the importance of public education.
"The things that I've learned along the way on my public education journey truly have changed my life for the better and given me a strong purpose. They showed me that any kid, from any background, can accomplish anything that they aspire to be," said Howell.
Howell recently graduated high school with a 3.9 GPA and soon will begin classes at the University of Georgia.
Howell actually will begin classes at UGA as a junior, as he already owns two associate degrees – one from Georgia Military College and one from Central Georgia Technical College. He plans on majoring in finance and economics in Athens. His list of extracurriculars, meanwhile, is too long to list in one news article.
Everything sounded so lovely until the end.
“We tried”
If that’s not disheartening idk what is. I feel the need to quote my mom here. “I can’t have nothin nice”. Wiser words were never said.
Oh! And for gods sake STAY HYDRATED if you want to save on hospital bills. I hate summer.
Member when the river was fun and didn’t get angry and take lives? You could float down hopefully by sunset with only burnt skin that was a problem for later you? Member when your biggest fear were all the scary gar lingering about?
Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 89 and low of 72 degrees. Mist for the morning, light rain shower in the afternoon, patchy rain nearby in the evening, cloudy overnight.
loving that suit! That hippie has style and wears it well.
I member hearing about this. So incredibly sad. The lady I spoke with couldn’t have spoken higher of the man he was.
"unless someone wishes to make some sort of far-flung statement about their dissatisfaction with both major political parties" omg! YES PLEASE! There's no choices, and they will never allow an independent a fighting chance. Other countries have multiple candidates to choose from.
Any reason why the sheriff rarely makes a statements its alway another Deputy isn’t the sheriff, the elected official in our county?
