Macomb Township mother and daughter, Sherry Kahari and Darcia Miller, both graduated from Wayne State University May 7.
Sherry Kahari started Wayne State University as a mother-to-be and now, as fate would have it, both she and her daughter are graduating as members of the WSU Class of 2012. “Ironically, my daughter graduates with me at the same time in the same place where I started 20 years ago,” Kahari, 39, said. “This is where I was 20 years ago.

Then she found out she was pregnant. “I felt like my hopes and dreams were shattered at that point,” she said…
