Local Mother-Daughter Graduates Inspire Community with Academic Triumph

Danielle Lobo and her daughter Aaliyah (Leo) Lobo have supported each other through academic and personal challenges. Their support began when Leo, a student and athlete, suffered a severe soccer injury in early 2022. During her recovery, she focused more on her academics.

Despite the disappointment of ending her soccer career, Leo's commitment to her studies motivated her mother, Danielle. Watching her daughter manage high school, part-time work, and physical therapy encouraged Danielle to pursue her academic goals. This shared motivation helped them both succeed academically.

Together, they studied and prepared for exams, which strengthened their relationship and led to both passing their courses. They both graduated in the spring of 2024, with Danielle earning an Associate in Science degree in Paralegal Studies and Leo an Associate in Arts degree.

After graduation, Danielle aims to become a family court judge and plans to earn a bachelor’s degree in human services before attending law school. Leo has returned to soccer and will move to South Carolina to play for a Division II school and study photography.
