Sharonda Wilson and her son, Stephan, officially graduated on the same day. Sharonda didn’t think twice about which graduation to attend, though, and skipped her own so she could watch her son graduate. However, she got quite the surprise during the ceremony.

To attend her son Stephan’s commencement ceremony, Sharonda Wilson was unable to attend her own from Ferris State University. Learning this, @cmichprez contacted FSU President Eisler and was able to confer her degree on behalf of FSU’s president and trustees. #cmichgraduation pic.twitter.com/anCSTHDCdC
