ATLANTA — Michelle Morrison was branded a felon and locked up for the rest of her life for a crime she did not commit until she decided to change her life around.While she was in prison, she took every opportunity to expand her mind. She would eventually graduate from college for the first time while in lockup, but she didn't get the big celebration that most college graduates receive.
"I feel honored now. I put away the shame, anything that I had negative feelings, and I feel great to walk across that stage," Morrison added.In 2007, Morrison was tangled in a web that caused her a life behind bars. She thought she was going to collect a debt with a friend, but while she was in the car waiting, a tragedy unfolded.
"She is my biggest fan. And I know, just the rest of her life, I want to be here and take care of her," Morrison said. "She is like the phoenix rising from the ashes. It's amazing," her mother said."That's what happens when you don't give up! You just keep pushing, even when they say no, you just keep pushing."
