“What the trunk didn’t do, may the branches do.” Soo beautiful

“What the trunk didn’t do may the branches do”.💘

Shout out to her professor offered to help her with the private ceremony, and shout out to her husband for being amazingly supportive of her dream 🤍

Loida just inspired me. My mom never went to school and she’s doing everything for me to go. I’m currently pursuing a masters degree and wanted to quit last week but she wouldn’t let me. Loida, God bless you for this. Only few will really understand. I’m also gonna get my doctorate for her and be the first person ever in my family. God bless your mom and granny🙏🏾

Mercedes: she's crying. I'm gonna cry. Camera man: me too Me: same

When her mom dropped to her knees I lost it. This is so beautiful. Such a beautiful quote, “what the trunk didn’t do May the branches do.”

I love the quote “What the trunk couldn’t do, may the branches do”. Awesome

Why would anyone put a dislike on such a great story!

When parents think their kids dont see their sacrifice. Congratulations to all 3 Mercedes 🙌🏾.

Immediate tears when momma went to her knees. Such a sweet story

As a parent, I can tell you that there is no greater joy than to see your child/children succeed and be witness to their accomplishments and happiness.

"What the trunk didn't do, may the branches do." Amen & Amen!!! HALLELUJAH!!!

“What the trunk didn’t do, may the branches do.” Wow. What a poetic way to speak a dream.

I love to see kids of immigrants succeed because their parents sacrificed everything to come here. Them graduating and succeeding makes me happy. Them making their parents proud.

My story is almost the same. My Mum got to see my degree graduation, but 2 years after she passed away while I was doing my master. I had a dream to overcome our situation, better life.I got lost when she passed away, I felt like I didn’t have any reason to continue anymore. She stop leaving her life for her children and didn’t leave long enough to benefit from her hard work. Today I am working but somehow I feel incomplete. To all hard working Mum out there, you are appreciate and you are our inspiration.

When Mom hit the ground, I think I got snot in my mouth, I was crying so hard! 😭

And a mother’s dream is to see her children achieve more than they ever dreamed for themselves! 😢

“What the trunk didn’t do, may the branches do.” I love that quote from her Grandmother! Congratulations!

"She said it was like she got it herself"... Yep, that's a mom.

As an immigrant child of a single Dominican mom who worked her butt off for us, I'm halfway done toward becoming a PT & I wait for the day my mom can feel proud(er) of me like this when I graduate

“Her sacrifice was not in vain” That hit home

When they were crying and the camera guy said “yep me too” I felt that

I'm so proud of her and I not even know her. She is amazing.

When i seen her mom dropped down to her knees. I just couldn't stop the tears from come down my face🥺🥺🥺

She didn’t waste her mother’s sacrifices and hard work.

My dad always was a really smart guy growing up but his dad passed away when he was 12. He has 8 siblings so he ended up studying economics in college to be out of school in 3 years to support his younger siblings. None of the 9 siblings ("the trunks") could afford to become doctors. Now, NINE of their kids ("the branches") are doctors including me who is in medical school.

What our children achieve, we achieve with them. My two sons are grown men, and have achieved so much....I’m so incredibly proud of them. I have epilepsy and couldn’t fulfil my dreams.

I am speechless.Such love and honour for mom.God bless you

I'm currently doing this now, going to school and my mom doesn't know about it. I just want to shock her at the graduation!

I am now a registered physician. It was my father's dream to become a doctor but he was not able to enroll to medicine before because they did not have enough financial support. He took BS-biology as his college course, So instead of pursuing medicine, he worked as an accountant after he got his college degree, which was totally differrnt from what he studied in college. He did not force me to become a doctor but he told me that i had the potential of becoming one and mom told me his story and so i did it. Finished med school for him. Thanks dad.

This is so beautiful seeing her mother drop to her knees when she realized her babe was graduating🥰😘 Mama u did a wonderful job raising your kids🙂🙂 Education is very important😉

The way women (including my own mother) repeatedly make sacrifices for their children is astounding. This was sooooo beautiful and I hope I can make my mother this proud one day

These are the kind of people who should write parenting books

My immigrant parents said "Get a degree, because that's one thing no-one can take away from you."

So heartwarming, to see a loving mother’s joy and pride in her child’s accomplishments. Lovely. 🙌

“What the trunk didn’t do, May the branches do.” Is such a good quote.

When she took a knee to daughter I started crying. In an African culture that is one of the greatest honour someone who is older and a parent can bestow on a younger person or one's child. My emotions were going btw been overjoyed and crying.😭😚😘

Ok...this has moved my HEART my Mom passed but I'm going to DO IT🕊✝️🕊

“Lo que no hizo el tronco, que lo hagan las ramas.” 😭 Bawling!!!

“I wanted her to know that her sacrifice was not in vain” I felt this 🥺

I lost it when her mom knelt down and I couldn't get it back together. My mom died the year I graduated PhD. Congrats to Mom and Daughter!

I go to UCF and working towards a doctoral degree as well. My mom always wanted to be a therapist but had to leave Cuba to give us a better future. I am trying to make her proud. This hit home, thank you for sharing this.

This so beautiful. You make Mom cry, you make her feel prouder as a mother who raises her children alone. Bravo Bravo. ❤❤

43-year-old man crying like a baby over here. As a father I couldn't imagine a prouder moment with my children. Congrats and best of luck.

My dad became a Court judge at the age of 67 years old, and he passed all of his university training programmes!!💯✅👏👏

There is no happiness like seeing your mom proud of you.

She was thanking her ancestors. That looks like an automatic spiritual response

I’m crying too!!! My daughter is in medical school... may she finish her journey

I can't even keep a secret when it comes to Christmas presents

When her mom dropped on her knee , my gosh i can not breath and crying....Im soo happy for them. .God bless them both 🙏🙏💕🌹💐🎉🎉

Oh baby girl, you made your momma soooo happy. Made me cry too. Much love and success to you! 🌹❤️

So were going to ignore that Loida's mom is a genius( medical school at 14 or 15 yr. old)

I dropped out of college 14 years ago. I was a parent of a 2 year old and I needed to provide for us... Well, December 11, 2020 I was pinned with my nursing pin.. I finally became that RN!!! The look on my parents face was worth EVERY tear I cried, every late night I stayed up studying and getting only a few hours of sleep to go clock in at a full time job then go straight to school..

This had me crying happy tears especially when her mom went to one knee and started crying. That was her rejoicing because she accomplished something and her daughter made sure that was going to happen and her mom's dreams came true through her daughter. Late congratulations on your graduation and getting your degree.

Why I’m crying 😢 Oh God I pictured my kids inside her. As a parent what makes you happy more than this. Proud of you sister.

I cried when I saw her mom dropped to her knees. I’m a 27 year old who just finished my undergraduate. When my father got sick in 2011, me and my 2 brothers had to stop college. He was in and out of the hospital and in 2014 the doctor said his heart condition is not good - and that he could experience an attack anytime. Me and my brothers went our separate lives and worked different jobs (Fastfood chains, call centers, etc…). In 2015 I was accepted on a well-paying online job that allowed me to pay my rent (I lived independently at that point), and it gave me extra time to slowly take university courses and enroll on a degree granting program. It took me 5 years because I had to dabble between my classes and time for work. There were times I only had to sleep 2 hours a night because of the workload and the school paper requirements. Fast forward 2020, I finished my studies, and got my degree. Sadly, due to the pandemic my dad was not able to witness my graduation rites. But hopefully next year he will. That would be a great gift for him. Now, I’m trying to find a new job. And will then help my brother get to school without him needing to work.

Man youtube is spying bcos she know I am slacking off in school and recommended this video to keep me going, thanks YT

I am sobbing like a little child.. Bravo chica 👏🏼👏🏼. I don’t know you but I AM SO PROUD OF YOU AND YOUR MOM. You are a great example to follow.

A proud Dad is a good thing. A proud Mom? Heartstopping and inspirational. Good job Kid!

My father would dream of finding books and pencils as a child growing up in a village with no school. He'd wake up crying because it was only a dream. He never went to school but learned to read and write and maths all by himself and with the help of his employers when he was working on construction sites. He would always emphasize the importance of education to me and my siblings. We have all became academics and I have become a dentist. He never realised his dream of education but we did it for him.

Mom's legs wouldn't hold her up she was so surprised. Sweet story!

"What the trunk didnt do may the branches do" such a beautiful thing to say

this is what education means to a mother so devoted to her children GOD bless u elders

Why would anyone dislike this video? Tf is wrong with y’all? Respect to this family ✊🏽

2:42 "I wanted her to know that her sacrifice was not in vain."

That is beautiful….that is one blessed momma💕💕💕. Her sacrifice was not in vain….

THAT is how you honor your mother! Beautiful!

“May the branches reach as far as the trunk could’nt” Very stong, inspirational quote.

Mashallah. My parents fled their homecountry as well. Been through a lot of rascism, never had a holiday, never bought something new for themselves just to offer us the best. I am a surgeon now..🙏🏼

So proud of you, you had a beautiful role model. Always make your mama proud. Congratulations

When Mama went on her knee, I burst into tears! So beautiful ❤️

You didn't just make your mom and grandma proud, You made EVERYONE proud.

One of those times when your're like "meh" and you click anyways, and you're so glad you did.😁

What a beautiful gift! Many dreams came true on your graduation. Bless you.

WOW Baby you made me cry. I'm so happy for you to have made your Mom (and Grandmother) proud! Children shoud be like this, real grit and determination to attain their goal!

"What the trunk didn't do, may the branches do." 🌴🌱🌿 When her mother got on her knees I bawled. I felt that! 😭

I'm crying😭😭😭 God bless them and who ever read this!!!!

Man, that quote from grandma. Was GOLD 🙏❤️🙏 Congratulations ❤️👍❤️🙏❤️🙏🦋🦋🦋

You bring tears in my eyes. Bless Happy mama bless

The success of the children is the success of the parent. All parents want their children to succeed.

I just did something similar for my mother she turned 70 and I surprised her dressed with my graduation gown I earned a Bachelor’s in Nursing. I been an LPN for 9 years and she always pushed me to go back to school to get my RN. She was speechless. Congrats!

VIDEOS LIKE THIS MAKING ME CRY. Omg. Good job lady, this is such an inspiration. YOU are an inspiration.

Girl you even made me proud! God Bless you!

Wow, you just gave me the courage to continue my education as a Doctor. I have a M.S degree in Forensic Psychology. However, I''m an older women who's determined to persue my goals thanks to your video. Thank you!

Soon as her mom walked in the door I started crying.

How absolutely wonderful and inspiring. Congratulations to you. Your mom has many reasons to be proud. You are so amazing!

You are an amazing daughter because you accomplished your mother's happiness, I cried really

How could you dislike such a beautiful moment . It’s a cruel world . Congrats to you and your mother well deserved ‼️

I’m not crying! You’re crying! 😭

What a beautiful story. The look on her mother's face is epic!

So beautiful. This is why parents,those who are now parents want so much more for our children,grand children.

When mom fell on her knees I lost it💕

My gf, who is Dominican-American, is the first college/medical school graduate of her family. Her mother, Milly, always wanted to be a doctor but couldn’t due to circumstances. Now, she’s living her dream through her daughter’s career. We talk to her about our interesting cases. I absolutely love sharing this and also Milly because she brought up the most wonderful and loving gf any man could ask for.

As a mom, wow. Choking on tears.

Whenever I see a child accomplish great things I personally feel it (many times,not in all cases) is a reflection of the parents and what a good job they did raising their child. This young woman grew up with strong moral standards and a compassionate heart, remembering the sacrifices her mother had done for her... she learned the meaning of Love... and gave back! I wish love and compassion could be passed on from person to person in an unending cycle. It can start with one and multiply to many. God Bless her, her family, and all her achievements and may happiness follow wherever she goes! ❤️

I couldn’t stop the tears when mom dropped to one knee.
