Burn survivor Adrianna Laing, whose story captured national attention, today received special recognition for resilience and inspiration at her graduation from Maggotty High School in St Elizabeth.

During his address, Maggotty High principal Sean Graham praised the 16-year-old for her strength, saying she has served as an inspiration to the school community.

“With that unbreakable determination, this student has done well and is a part of our graduating class. Many times we doubted if she would ever return to school,” said Graham.
