Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson is officially a high school grad — feel old yet?!
The 17-year-old's big day at Wilkinson County High in McIntyre, Georgia, was heavily documented by herself and by proud Mama June, who posted video and photos of her daughter looking radiant in a yellow graduation cap and gown.
The video revealed June was hollering the whole time Alana walked across the stage, and photos confirmed the attendance of many of Alana's fam, including sis Lauryn "Pumpkin" Shannon.
"Well today alana closed one chapter of her life n I know we have been through ALOT and I know the road hasn’t been a easy one for you for one but girl u done it now we are moving into the next chapter of your life getting u ready to go off to college but u got this n u lmow we will always been for you through it all," June wrote on Instagram. "I’m so very proud of you you never gave up even when there was times we all know u was over getting up early n going to school and even what we have been through in the last few years u never quit or gave up and I’m so very proud of YOU for that I love you so much alana u did it everyone was there to cheer n holler your name every chance we got n yes y’all I hollered WORK IT SMOOCHIE one last time as she walked across the stage to get her diploma even though the two people that thought the world of you wasn’t there to see u walk across the stage I know nana n papa especially nana was screaming down at you today as you walked across that stage."
Earlier this month, Alana posted sweet photos of herself in a "SENIOR" sweatshirt and painted "CLASS OF 2023" jeans, writing, "I am so proud of myself and how far I have become there were points that I didn’t even think I would make it this far but I made it. 🎓"
