A mother and son from Texas, the US, held a dual celebration as they both graduated on Friday, which also happened to be the weekend leading up to Mother’s Day, making the occasion even more memorable.
Texas Christian University announced that Brandi Fields received an Executive Master of Business Administration degree, whilst her son, Kyle, received his Master of Liberal Arts degree.
In a news release from the university, Brandi expressed said, "Sharing this moment with my son is something I never imagined. We've supported each other through late nights and strict deadlines. To walk the stage together, especially on Mother's Day weekend, is an incredible and meaningful moment for our family."
She also revealed some of the difficulties endured: "Returning to the classroom after so many years was a challenge… But learning alongside experienced professionals from diverse backgrounds made it incredibly rewarding. The insights I gained from both professors and peers were invaluable."
Kyle, on the other hand, who works as an equipment manager for TCU Athletics, said, "Sport has always been a big part of my life.
“I want to continue to work in the sports industry. The ultimate goal is to work for Nike."
