Rose Scott<\/strong> on WABE FM 90.1.<\/p>Parks went into the studio with Scott as a part of Closer Look\u2019s series of profiles on local college graduates May 13, kicking off senior week for the senior class president from Roswell. The nearly 15-minute interview was even more meaningful for her because Scott allowed Parks\u2019 mother, Ayanna Chambliss, to come into the studio to observe in person.<\/p>Randi Parks, left, and her mother, Ayanna Chambliss, at the WABE FM 90.1 studios in Atlanta.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\u201cMy mom is a really big inspiration for a lot of what I do,\u201d said Parks, fighting back tears. \u201cI really think she raised me in a way that I knew I could do anything.”<\/p>
Parks will be delivering the senior class president address at Commencement on May 18. Scott, who will be receiving an honorary doctor of letters degree from Oglethorpe, will deliver the keynote address.<\/p>
\u201cMy speech is halfway done,\u201d Scott said. \u201cI don\u2019t know about you. Is your speech done because I have a ways to go.\u201d<\/p>
Scott said she didn\u2019t want to \u201cpreach\u201d but hoped to give the graduates some encouragement.<\/p>
\u201cPart of my message will be to fill your cup now,\u201d Scott said. \u201cYou can change the world now as opposed to waiting 20 or 30 years.\u201d<\/p>
