When Faith Couts received her diploma on Friday, her son, Hunter Wetzel, (literally) followed in her footsteps and received his own bachelor's degree from the university.
Couts, 50, had her first child during her senior year in high school and enrolled in community college in Las Vegas.
For some, the idea of attending college with a parent might be terrifying — an encroachment on the freedom college often represents.“I just always thought she was very like right-brained — really emotional, really empathetic, good at problem-solving, that sort of thing. But not super book smart,” he said. “And this whole thing has taught me that she actually gets both.”“I would say I’m impressed, but it’s 100% expected,” Wetzel said. “I knew she’d be able to do it.
Shortly before Wetzel started at UCI, Couts began taking classes at Saddleback College after a nearly two-decade break. “The main thing was, I was like, ‘Mom, I’m going to need space,’” Wetzel said. “‘I’m going to be with my friends for the most part.’”
