Thank you to my parents Im a badass with a diploma is what Jennifer Rocha wrote on her graduation cap. The @ucsandiego student took her graduation pics in a farm field to honor her parents. Since high school she worked alongside them planting strawberries.

Rocha "decided to take her graduation pictures in the farm fields where she worked with her parents since she was in high school," she told ABC San Diego.
