R&B singer Lloyd celebrated getting his GED (which he earned in December 2015) at Therrell High School’s graduation ceremony in Georgia (early May 2016). When he started the program he said: “Sometimes, moving forward involves taking a step backwards… When I moved to New York to sign my first record deal, I promised my 17 year old self that I would return to school to finish my education.” He also offered words of encouragement to remind people that it’s never too late to accomplish a goal: “I am neither ashamed nor embarrassed to say that i’ve taken my first step towards that goal…First-hand, money making experience is great and, in most cases, is what we go through years of school for anyway, but I just HAD to go back for my GED so I could at least show myself & others that there is no shame nor regret to be had or felt when you are making a conscience effort to become a better you.” (click for more BLACKAMAZING news)
