Twin sisters, Khaliyah and Aaliyah White, have graduated top of their class a year after losing their loving mother.
The twins from Philadelphia graduated as the first and second students at the GAMP High School.
The sisters graduated valedictorian and salutatorian of their class in addition to excelling in track-and-field and acting in local theater plays.
The duo said they were dedicating their successes to their mother who died in 2019.
The twins described their late mother as “proud of us for everything that we were doing.
“We were always talking to teachers [and] asking questions. It didn’t definitely didn’t come easy for us,” said Khaliyah in a video interview with NBC News. “We [just] had that drive and motivation.”
Even though their graduation had to shift to a virtual space due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the twins are still happy knowing they made their mother proud.
“She was proud of us for everything that we were doing,” the twins said.“We’re still doing everything even though it is not the same as before. We’re going through this and we will be stronger and more prepared for anything that comes in the future.”
Both of the girls have already committed to their colleges of choice with Khaliyah heading to Delaware State University, while Aaliyah is going to the University of Pennsylvania.
