At 23, old Lady graduates from US university with three degrees while nursing her new-born twins, celebrates achievement
A remarkable 23-year-old woman by the name of Montoya Timaya Major has achieved great success in the US after graduating from Nova Southeastern University with three degrees while solely caring for her infant twin.
According to Montoya Timaya, who shared her hardships and successes on Facebook, she had to face many difficulties on her own, including giving birth to her twins through C-section. She was however pleased with her second Bachelor’s in Cardiovascular Sonography and her Master’s in Health Science degrees.
“Our program started off with 26 people and I am now 1 of 17 that will be graduating. 5 months after starting my graduate program I found out that I was pregnant,” Montoya narrated on Facebook.
She continued by saying that when she told her program director she was expecting twins, he advised her to take a break and return the following year because it would be “almost impossible” to complete the program with two babies.
“I went to class every single day literally until the day I gave birth. I was determined to finish. Only after a week of giving birth via c-section I was back in class because i was told it was “unacceptable that I missed a week of school,” Montoya narrated.
Montoya stated that her grades dropped drastically as a result of being occupied with taking care of her children. “My grades dropped DRASTICALLY and my anxiety went through the roof. I was so afraid of failing and losing everything and most importantly my kids. I honestly thought dropping out would be the best choice for me, but I knew I couldn’t let my kids down,” she said.
