This hero woman took her finals while in labor and graduated from Harvard Law — and her grad photo is EVERYTHING

Anyone who is or has ever been in college knows that finals season is no joke, but what if you had to deal with it while bringing new life into this world? A Harvard student took on her finals and giving birth to a baby…literally at the same time. And the photo she shared of her little one celebrating her graduation day is absolutely everything.

The woman — 24-year-old Briana Williams — posted a photo on Instagram of herself in her cap and gown, holding her tiny baby. And although the picture itself is gorgeous, the caption is what will really blow you away.

“I went into labor in April — during final exam period,” Williams wrote. “I immediately requested an epidural so that my contractions wouldn’t interfere with my Family Law grade. And, with tears in my eyes, I finished it.”

Somehow, this strong lady managed to take her final while in labor, giving birth to a human child, and not only did she get it done, but she also went into her last year of law school raising her newborn daughter on her own and successfully graduated with a Juris Doctor from Harvard Law.
We know what you’re thinking: How is this even possible? It took a lot of determination, it sounds like, since Williams added that baby Evie had to come with her to a few classes when no one else could watch her.

“I did not think that, at 24 years old, as a single mom, I would be able to get through one of the most intellectually rigorous and challenging positions of my life,” she continued. “It was hard. It hurt. Instagram can make peoples’ lives seem seamless, but this journey has been heart wrenching. However, I am happy to say that I DID do it.”
