Alana said she was "so happy" as she graduated and is looking forward to the future.

She said: "I can't wait until I can tell everybody in the future about this day, especially my future kids."

Alana added: "The whole four years I was in high school I used to always say I can't wait until I graduate and it's crazy to think that I actually can say that I graduated high school now.

"I'm not gonna lie I look at my diploma now and it still feels a little surreal for me to be graduating high school. but I can finally say I DID IT & if nobody is proud of me I'm proud of my damn self!"
