Nayzia Thomas does not play when it comes to achieving her goal of earning a college degree. After putting in a full semester of coursework, the idea of taking an incomplete on her final exam was not an option for the college sophomore. A psychology major at Johnson County Community College in Kansas City, Mo, a fully-pregnant Thomas politely escorted her laptop into the labor room and completed her final while preparing to give birth.

update: on 12/12/17 we had a healthy baby boy. However, I experienced major blood loss & my body went into shock post-delivery. It was very scary, but his father was right there to take over when I went unconscious. We are blessed! AND I'm finishing the semester w/ a 3.5 GPA!???????? pic.twitter.com/CLFGjf3hLD
