The Black-ish star is officially a high school graduate. She posted a picture on her Instagram account sharing the news with her fans along with a sweet message to her parents. She also spoke of her journey to graduation day — from the good times, work, and school — and the hardships she faced along the way.

The Instagram photo (above) had the caption: 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, 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 ⚡️.”

She has committed to Harvard University. She also has a spin-off called College-ish coming to Freeform in 2018.
