A new graduate also became a new mom. When it came time to receive her diploma, she multi-tasked.

“I was determined to graduate and walk across the stage,” Szymchack tells Inside Edition.

“I was hoping to make it until after graduation but my doctors had made it sound like they thought she would come a little early,” Szymchack says.

“It felt nice to have her by my side and to have her there with me,” Szymchack says.
