Congratulations to the first class of graduating senior women from Young Women's Leadership Charter School of Chicago! My Mom's been working on this project for years; this is a first milestone sign of fruition: "I think in our first graduating class, we have achieved our mission of getting girls interested in pursuing careers in math, science and technology,'' Hall said. "It's the most fun I've ever had in my life.''
