Mom Walks in College Graduation With Her Newborn Baby

New mom Grace Szymchack walked in her graduation with her newborn tucked right in her gown. Szymchack planned to graduate from Ferris State University in Michigan three days before she was due. But baby Annabelle couldn't wait so she brought along her very special plus-one to her graduation. “It felt nice to have her by my side and to have her there with me,” says Szymchack.

Reminds me of my graduation. Classmate had the baby the night before, showed up with a nurse in tow, got her diploma, and headed straight back to the hospital to be with her baby. Huge respect!!

I can’t imagine how difficult it must have been to have a baby when she was so close to graduation. She is a one very determined young woman.

I wish her a great future in life with her cute and beautiful baby girl.

I mean honestly, how many kids can say they've been to their parents graduation???!!! That is such a special moment! Congrats!!!

Congratulations Grace on the newborn and graduation! What a beautiful moment.

I understand that this story is about her being a mom and the baby but can we take a moment to recognize that she was also received magna cum laude? Which means she worked her butt off even while pregnant. She’s pretty awesome for both separately, but together she’s truly amazing.

She reminds me of my mom, she graduated high school when I was 2, I was with her in most of her graduation pictures, and when I wasn't, I was making my grandpa working out, running after me 😂
