More and more people are earning their degrees online, and getting ready to succeed in the business world.  The dream of a college education came true for not only a daughter, but her mother as well.  The pair motivated one another along their path to earning their degrees.  Both will graduate together after earning their degrees from Phoenix University Online.

“I’m so proud of you really I am, ” says Thomonica McBride. Thomonica and her daughter Shalome Ware will both graduate from the University of Phoenix together.

But it’s been a long road. When Shalome was growing up, teachers and principals told her mom that Shalome might not graduate from high school…let alone go to college.

“She kept pushing me, saying you can do this do this. I decided to prove them wrong and I am proving them wrong,” says Shalome.

Shalome did graduate from high school, and then eventually enrolled at the University of Phoenix — where her mom was a student too.

They both have jobs at the school as well — and determined to graduate together they doubled up on their on-line courses and motivated each other.
