This mom taught her sons that intelligence is currency. Then she went to college with them.
She moved from New York to Florida to give her three sons -- twins Aubrey and Aaron, 22, and Blake, 25 -- a better life and then raised them as a single mom after she got divorced when they were very young.
"They grew up in a working-class household, and I taught them a lot about currency not being money, but being intelligence and being virtue," McClarey said."I feel like I really did, to the best of my ability, put them first and teach them to never give up." She worked while getting her associate's degree at Tallahassee Community College and then started at Florida A&M full time in 2016.
"It was comforting to have somebody there that you knew was there and would look for you and have your interests at heart," Aubrey added. Blake Hough, who will attend Florida A&M in the fall, said he is most proud of his mom for"having the drive to finish what she started."
