Kha’Lil is a bundle of energy wrapped up into one of the funniest, quirkiest, kindest human beings I have ever met. A day never went by in my class that he wasn’t making me laugh except the occasional day when we were butting heads because we both are fervid people. He is a passionate, vibrant young man who has educated me more than he will ever know and made me a better person. I am very blessed that I was able to be his teacher.
