I am a single mum with the same dream. I WILL MAKE IT.

[@thomasb1033]

I’m so proud of her. She rose up and fought through the hard times.

[@childoftheheavenlyfather302]

Congratulations to this remarkable woman and het children. God bless each of you.

I wish I could write her. I'm a single mom trying to get into law school too and she's the only story I've found somewhat similar to mine.

Karehnuh try your best, I am single mother studying BA Honour in Social Care Practice, it's not easy but I have to do it for my kids and myself all I can say is that try my sister.

[@skipdarmody314]

Fantastic. Persistence. Resilience. Patience. These are the qualities of the hard-working men and women who return to college as adults to pursue their dreams. I congratulate NBC for recognizing the accomplishments of this woman. Our country and our higher educational systems need to recognize the need to help adults return to college because so much attention is focused on the youth college culture.
