18-year-old college graduate shares her testimony with thousands
Sarah Pace knows what it's like to stand out in a crowd.
She's one of 15 biological children in her family.
She graduated from high school at age 16.
She finished classes at Claflin University at 18 and graduated in May as co-valedictorian with a 4.0 grade average.
And Pace, a Mormon and member of the Lake Murray Ward in the West Columbia South Carolina Stake, quoted LDS Church President Thomas S. Monson in her graduation speech.
At Claflin, a historically black college of about 1,700 students in Orangeburg, S.C., Pace majored in sociology and minored in Spanish and gerontology.
