Two sisters are proving that hard work and dedication can pay off in amazingly huge ways. After attaining incredible grades and being upstanding members of their community, they're celebrating a fruitful graduation with over 200 offers from various schools and $24 million in scholarship money.
Together they've really shone throughout their high school careers, and are ready to take the rest of the future by storm.
Denisha and Destiny Caldwell are seniors at Scotlandville Magnet High School in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and recently received offers from over 200 schools and over $24 million in scholarships.
They're also graduating top of their class, Destiny as the valedictorian and Denisha as the salutatorian, with 4.0 and 3.95 GPAs respectively.
"In the end we said, 'Let's just work together and end at the top'," Denisha said in an interview with Good Morning America. "It's an unbreakable bond. Once you see me, you know you're going to see Destiny."
They both participate in competitive dance, interning at the Artz Performance Academy, they're involved with the Stanford University emergency medicine program, and volunteer with the Butterfly Society, an organization that aids domestic abuse survivors.
They'll both be attending UCLA this coming fall where they'll be majoring in math and science, both with dreams of working in the medical field.
Destiny's advice to upcoming grads is to, "Achieve everything you want to accomplish and accomplish everything you want to achieve," while Denisha's is, "[...] don't allow negativity to break you down. Use it as motivation, use everything as a positive."
