She also held him during the ceremony. “The experience of walking the stage with my son Josiah was the only way I saw myself walking the stage,” Barowski said in an interview Wednesday, just days after graduation. “I couldn’t have done this without him, and I wanted to share this special moment with him.” She gave advice to other teenage parents. “Advice that I have for teen parents who are graduating is to never give up – your future is not just yours anymore – it’s you and your child’s,” Barowski said. “It will get hard, but you guys got this.” MOTHERHOOD AND SCHOLASTICS: Embracing her son, Josiah, 5 months, is graduate Michelle Barowski, who crossed the stage at Stackpole Field on Saturday.

She plans to enroll at North Shore Community College and at Salem State University to major in pre-medicine, in hopes of becoming an obstetrics and gynecology doctor.
