Vivian Fisher, a 98-year-old grandma from California has finally achieved her dream after she recently earned her high school diploma together with her great-grand nephew.
She was one of the graduates of Monrovia High School’s Class of 2020. She was joined by her great-grandnephew, Elijah Vance, who also graduated in the drive-thru ceremony.
She was not able to graduate decades ago when she was younger because she had to work multiple jobs to provide for her family.
