THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA NEWS CENTER — As she looked into her newborn son’s eyes, Aaliyah Locke made him a promise: She would do whatever it took to succeed. Five years later, on Mother’s Day with her son cheering her on, she’ll cross the commencement stage to receive her Juris Doctor.“Graduating on Mother’s Day, surrounded by my family, it’s almost a full circle,” Locke said. “I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for their support and faith in me.”
