It's all about the power of choice-and discovering that power through education.
That was the resounding theme Saturday night as members of the community came together to celebrate and participate in the 10th annual Black History Month banquet .
Monica Scott, a 2000 graduate of Chiefland High School and a recipient of a Black History Committee Scholarship, was keynote speaker for the evening.
Scott, who earned her bachelor of science degree from Florida State University now teaches physical education and coaches the volleyball, basketball, and softball teams at Holy Comforter Episcopal School in Tallahassee.
There she has led the volleyball team in consecutive undefeated seasons (42-0). "It's not for the glory, not for a pat on the back, but because I love what I do, I love the kids, and I make positive choices," she said. "I've met adversity and I'm still going to meet it in the face, right there, blow for blow."
