18-year-old Augusta native set to graduate medical college
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – An Augusta native and Paine College alum will walk across the stage at Meharry Medical College in Nashville for her Master of Science in Data Science.
Charleston Lee, 18, will be the youngest to do so in the School of Applied Computational Science.
At 16, she became the youngest SGA President in Paine College’s history, according to the news release.
“II Corinthians 5:7, “for we walk by faith and not by sight”, and Proverbs 31:26, “she opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue” are two scriptures that helped me on this journey to completing my degree,” Lee said.
Family and friends will travel to Tennessee to witness this milestone.
“Charleston has always been focused and determined, even as a young girl. She knew what she wanted, and she made sure she did all she could to accomplish her goals” her mom Kimberly Baxter-Lee said.
