This story is touching. I did this story Thursday on D.J. Graffree in Decatur. He has been named student of the year. Yet he has been through so much in his short life here on earth.
D.J. came to Decatur from a little town outside of Jackson, MS.
D.J.'s mom got thrown in prison for drug use when he was just a little boy. Then he was shuttled around to relatives homes, until he ran away to the streets.
D.J. then started dealing and using drugs at the age of 7 until his relatives here in Alabama came to the rescue.
D.J. wanted to be the best he could be when he moved to the area, and has become a model student at Somerville Road Elementary. That's the reason he was picked to be the elementary student of the year. His guardian's say he deserves everything he gets.
People have been calling and trying to set up a college scholarship fund for D.J.
