MERIDIAN, Miss. - The family that graduates together, sticks together, and the Cole family of Meridian, Mississippi, is a shining example of this belief.
Commondre Cole, 45, his son, Ja’Coby, 25, and daughter Iesha Gully, 27, recently graduated together from Mississippi State University-Meridian with master’s degrees in education.
Commondre said he loves re-watching the video of the ceremony and him and his children walking across the stage to receive their diplomas. "I love to go watch the video," he told FOX Television Stations. "I was first.
Cole was second, and Iesha came in third behind us. That was a special moment."RELATED: Watch: Taylor Swift at NYU graduation, delivers speech and receives honorary degreeIesha said she was the first to pursue the degree in the fall of 2020.
