"I was boarding my @Delta flight and the crew asked if I was coming home, and I said I was coming to finally graduate from last year. During the middle of the flight the attendants came and brought me a mimosa and a hand written note. Yeah I'm a lil emotional. Thank you," she tweeted on May 11.
The note, which also had a drawing of a graduation scroll, said: "She believed she could so she did."
