But God never forgot. In His perfect time, He gave me the courage to return, the strength to push through, and the joy of crossing this finish line," she remarked in an Instagram post.

On the highlight of her graduation, Marjorie shared that it was having her family witnessed this milestone in her life. "The sweetest part? My children were there to witness it — taking my photos and videos, handing me flowers and gifts. A moment so surreal, a full circle moment," she said.
