SUMMARY: Stephanie Pool, a South Mississippi woman, recently earned her bachelor’s degree in early family education from Jackson State University on December 8th. This triumph follows a yearlong medical journey stemming from a 2011 tumor on one of her ovaries, which led to seizures and migraines that couldn’t be stopped. Her extreme symptoms led to a medical team, and, despite everything, she finished her degree and was overjoyed with this accomplishment. She hoped to be an example for children through her accomplishment and was grateful she completed her degree before walking the stage, despite the trials she faced.

Sharita Hansford was in a medically induced coma for a year, before doctors discovered a tumor on her ovaries.
