Another letter read: “Shericka I love you so much I can’t believe that you were a student here. I love you so much please can I have a hug please? I always watch your videos, please.
"I love you so much darling Shericka Jackson, I wish we were related…”

In a post on her Instagram page, she said: “On my arrival at Vere Technical High School, I met these two nice students. They were so excited and that made me so happy and excited too.
