A 41-year-old father of two has graduated alongside his daughter and credits her for encouraging him to pursue his dream. The close-knit pair supported each other through their studies, and both graduated with honors.

“I didn’t think I was college material,” Cesar Galarza admitted to the Buffalo State College’s website. A welder by trade, and senior pastor at West Side church, Cesar was keen to become a social worker.
