According to the mom’s other TikTok videos, Natalie was 14 years old when she became pregnant with her little girl, Rylah.
But that didn’t stop her from graduating high school — with honors! — and proudly marching across that stage.
However, Natalie knew she couldn’t accept her diploma without her biggest inspiration: her 3-year-old daughter.
In the video, Natalie’s mom is seen bringing the toddler up to the stage as Natalie crosses to scoop her up.
The two then make their way across the stage to accept Natalie’s diploma, inspiring millions online with every proud step.
In the comments, a touched user wrote, “She was on that journey with you. It’s only fitting that she be up there with you.”
To this, the young mom replied, “Yes exactly. She was my motivation to graduate and I did it with honor roll.”
