A group of siblings surprised their mom who dropped out of high school as a single parent by gifting her all their diplomas to thank her for her sacrifices and for emphasizing education. Tanisha Horne, 49, from Jacksonville, Florida, was a teen mom and didn't finish high school, focusing all her energy on raising her "cubs" emphasizing education to them. Over time, her three eldest children – Tai, 33, Elbony, 31, and Derrick, 22 – all followed their mom's advice, earning their high school diplomas. And with the last of the four children, Ferrara, 18, set to graduate, the siblings decided to think of a surprise to thank their mom for all she had done for them. They settled on presenting Tanisha with all their diplomas and, having sourced a frame on Amazon, decided to present it to her on Ferrara's big day. Having unwrapped the gift at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena on May 29, Tanisha couldn’t help proudly smiling and shaking with excitement as she looked at the marks of achievement staring back at her.
