Great job Nasir. Keep up the great work.
Congrats Nasir! Keep striving for greatness.
Cool!I am a terrible speller, so Kudos!!!!!
Nasir has always been a little genius so this isn’t surprising…both he and his brother are very intelligent, well-mannered young men. I can’t believe how grown up they’re getting-look at Stephen…he even has facial hair (lol)-he’s really a young man now and I remember when he was little, and it seems like just yesterday that Nasir was born.
Great job, Sherri and Jahmal…keep up the good work you guys!
