Montoya Major found out that she was pregnant with twins just months into her dual-degree program. Now, she's getting ready to graduate with two degrees after becoming a single mom to two little girls.
Montoya Major knew that her life was about to change when she moved out to Florida from Alabama to pursue a dual-degree program at Nova Southeastern University in 2017. But, the 23-year-old could never have expected just how big a turn her life was going to take when she found out that she was pregnant while hours away from family and friends.
“My dad ultimately inspired me to acquire all the degrees I have earned,” she explains. “Growing up with a single father, after my mother passed, my dad always instilled the importance of getting an education. He has pushed me and supported me in every way possible to make sure that I obtain degrees in whatever I was passionate about.”
One of the most taxing parts in making sure that that happened was taking hardly any time off, both while pregnant and after giving birth. Just days after getting a C-section, which she nearly had to go through herself before a classmate offered to accompany her, the new mom was back in class and getting childcare help from family who flew in from Alabama.
On August 16th she will officially graduate with a bachelor’s in cardiovascular sonography and a master’s in health science — adding to an existing bachelor’s degree in biology, which she earned from Alabama Agricultural & Mechanical University in 2017. Now that the big day is fast approaching, Major took to social media to share her story, where thousands of people have since reacted to it.
