(Eleuthera, Bahamas) During their commencement ceremony held on Friday, June 17th, at Fountain of Life Ministries, the Preston H. Albury High School Class of 2016, like all the other schools, had their chance to listen to words of encouragement from devout evangelist Shirley Burrows who attends the island’s set of graduations and provides gifts to honour roll students. In this video, in her direct, heartfelt manner, Ms. Burrows encourages the students to never give up  – in her words describing her aunt’s advice to her: “if old rusty nail and string could get it, coconut bark and mashed up paper bag – she said, you could get it too! “
