Maryland mother and son graduate from same university, 20 years after pledge
Immanuel Patton promised his mother while he was in kindergarten that they would get their degrees together
A Maryland mother and son have both just graduated from the same university – almost two decades after a pledge the pair made to complete their degrees together.
Immanuel Patton, 23, graduated alongside his mother, Carolyn, 63, last month from the University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC) in Adelphi, on the outskirts of Baltimore.
