Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus realize high school graduation dream with John Marshall Class of 2015
When Ariel Castro kidnapped Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus, he stole 10 years from them, along with everything that matters in life. He took their freedom, their families, their time to be young and their time to plan and begin their lives as adults.

He cheated them out of the major life events most of us take for granted.

One of them was their high school graduations.

They got that back Wednesday when they put on white caps and gowns and received honorary diplomas from John Marshall High School, the Cleveland public school Amanda attended when Castro abducted her on April 21, 2003. It was the day before her 17th birthday.

1. K&R!

I am amazed at the strength these girls, now all women, have. I honestly think I would have killed myself.

Michelle White has also accomplished great things since they were finally released
