Singer Carol Banawa announced that she’s officially fulfilled her goal of obtaining her bachelor’s degree in nursing before the age of 40.
Banawa was a renowned singer in the Philippines before her family migrated to the United States in 2003 where she began doing film and television work while still producing albums. She has been studying hard at Grand Canyon University for a while and announced earlier this week that she’s finally completed an undergraduate program.
“Another goal achieved!” she wrote over a photo of herself in her cap and gown.
“Thank you GOD for this life! Grateful for my husband and children who have supported and pushed me to keep going! To my family, I love you all!” a quote that comes with the photo reads.

To make the graduation even more impressive, it seems that Banawa got it all done while expecting her third child. She announced on Instagram in September that she and her husband are expecting their third child in 2021.
In April she also revealed that she’d been tapped as a frontline worker to help out with the influx of coronavirus patients.
