Be inspired! Single mother of three, graduates with three degrees

 

Never let anyone tell you you can’t
do something!
It’s already hard enough to graduate and earn your bachelor’s degree, but one California woman beat the
odds and graduated with three degrees all at the same time and oh yeah,
she did it all while being a single mother of three!

28-year-old Deanna Jordan had a lot
to be proud of when she graduated from UCLA on Friday. 
She was
just 18 years old when she got pregnant fresh out of high school, and became
pregnant again with her third child at the age of 22. 
With three boys at home,
Deanna made the decision to do better.

So she enrolled at West Los Angeles
Community College for two years and then transferred to UCLA, where she spent
three-and-a-half years busting her butt to make sure she created a future for
herself and her kids.  

On Friday, all that hard work paid
off when Deanna graduated with two bachelor’s degrees and a master’s degree in
African-American Studies.
Speaking on her journey, Deanna
shared:

I needed for my sons to see there
was a legacy that preceded them with college. I am the first in my family to go
to college.

You can’t really succeed unless you
fail, and I failed a lot of times, but it was my persistence and my willingness
never to give up.
The inspiring graduate, says law school is next for her and that she hopes
to one day become a district attorney.
Amazing!
