Speaking of Miami Senior High, students were extremely excited to receive a surprise visit yesterday from hip-hop star Drake. He was recording his latest music video at the historic school in Little Havana and, afterward, made an unexpected $25,000 donation to Miami High. Drake also promised that every student would receive new uniforms that he designed himself. Our wonderful superintendent of Miami-Dade Public Schools, Alberto Carvalho, thanked Drake for all that he had done to support public education and for bringing his words of encouragement to south Florida students. But Drake did not stop there. He made another surprise visit to my alma mater, the University of Miami, where he awarded a $50,000 scholarship to Destiny James, a biology student. Drake finished the day off by giving an impromptu performance on UM's campus. What a treat for the students. I would like to thank Drake for his generosity and for inspiring so many students throughout my congressional district. I can safely say that they will not forget yesterday any time soon. So go Stingarees of Miami High, and go the students of University of Miami. Go Canes. Thank you, Drake. ____________________
