OlderYara Shahidi Wrote the Most Inspiring Post-Graduation Thank You on Instagram
Yara Shahidi is headed off to Harvard University — but before she could do that, she had to attend her high school graduation.
The black-ish actress and activist shared an inspiring thank you on her Instagram, giving a shout out to pretty much everyone who’s helped her in her high school career.
“One large supportive family, like minded peers, three seasons of a comedy, 1 1/2 years of no heat on my hair, many life changing books, quite a few lessons learned from @afshineee and @chocolatemommyluv,” Yara starts out.
She continues, “Many great adventures, a handful of all-nighters finishing essays, getting frustrated while doing derivatives, falling in love with James Baldwin, (more breakdowns than I’d like to admit), followed by even more growth, a daunting college process, a few panic attacks, with even more blissful moments, a spin off, and a final APUSH project later….”
“I’m here. Thank you to everyone who’s created the beautiful memories/opportunities/and adventures that’ve gotten me to this moment.”
