Lauryn \u201cPumpkin\u201d Shannon was quick to jump in, sharing: \u201cIt\u2019s a Top 3 nursing program in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
And Alana revealed that, in addition to her admission, the university offered a $21,000 scholarship.<\/p>\nMama June: Family Crisis star Alana \u201cHoney Boo Boo\u201d Thompson got all glammed up for prom in April 2023. (Instagram)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAlana\u2019s interest in neonatal nursing is actually not new information.<\/p>\n
She shared that ambition all the way back in 2021. It\u2019s not every day that a teen knows that they want such a specific career that early on, or sticks with their plans across years.<\/p>\n
Nursing is an important profession. It is not an easy one.<\/p>\nAlana Thompson spoke to a fan via Cameo to send them well wishes. (Cameo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nNursing isn\u2019t Alana\u2019s only career \u2026<\/h2>\n Alana has been famous since early childhood. <\/p>\n
Countless people tuned in for the spectacle of Toddlers And Tiaras<\/em>. It was like watching a train derail, except instead of train cars it was children\u2019s lives.<\/p>\nThen there was Here Comes Honey Boo Boo<\/em>. Now, Mama June: Family Crisis<\/em> and its various alternate titles. Is this the end?<\/p>\nAlana Thompson\u2019s proud mother shared a distant video of her 17-year-old daughter\u2019s graduation ceremony in May of 2023. (Instagram)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAs far as Alana is concerned, there is no reason for going off to college to mark the end of her reality TV career.<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean, I\u2019ve been on TV my whole life,\u201d she pointed out.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I\u2019ve kind of just basically accepted that whether I wanna go be a nurse or I wanna go be an accountant,\u201d Alana continued.<\/p>\nSo proud! Lauryn \u201cPumpkin\u201d Shannon poses with 17-year-old Alana \u201cHoney Boo Boo\u201d Thompson. Alana is now a high school graduate! (Instagram)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAlana acknowledged that \u201cwhatever I wanna go be, that I will always be in the spotlight.\u201d<\/p>\n
She added that: \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter what I do, I will always probably be known as, \u2018Oh my god, Honey Boo Boo [was] workin\u2019 on my baby when he was in the NICU!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
So, with that in mind, they were happy to share her graduation with fans.<\/p>\n\n\n
