The organization held a ceremony for Pace girls who have defied the odds to overcome various personal and academic trials to graduate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Members of the Class of 2024 are now ready to take on the world and achieve their dreams of higher education and future careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s rewarding, knowing that six months ago I wasn&#8217;t going to graduate. I wasn&#8217;t in any colleges and now I&#8217;m going to two different places at the same time and I can pursue my dreams,&#8221; said Bella, a Pace Lee 2024 graduate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bella plans to continue her education while pursuing a career in welding. She will be attending FSW in the fall and Fort Myers Tech in the spring, where she will be pursuing her welding certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.abc-7.com\/article\/pace-center-girls-lee-county-celebrates-graduates\/60985116\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">View Source<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pace Center for Girls in Lee County is celebrating four of its members who are graduating high school.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1185,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"post_tag":[66],"class_list":["post-1181","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-pace-lee"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pacecenter.org\/stories\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1181","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pacecenter.org\/stories\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pacecenter.org\/stories\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pacecenter.org\/stories\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pacecenter.org\/stories\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1181"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.pacecenter.org\/stories\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1181\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1213,"href":"https:\/\/www.pacecenter.org\/stories\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1181\/revisions\/1213"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pacecenter.org\/stories\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1185"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pacecenter.org\/stories\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1181"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pacecenter.org\/stories\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1181"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pacecenter.org\/stories\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/post_tag?post=1181"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
