Jennifer Rocha wanted to celebrate her bachelor’s degree in sociology from UC San Diego with a photo shoot, but instead of run-of-the-mill graduation pictures, she decided to honor her parents and the sacrifices they made for her.

Weeks later, when the images were uploaded to the internet, they went, receiving thousands of likes on Facebook and Instagram. Rocha was invited to tell her story on “Good Morning America” and “Today.” Jennifer Rocha chose the fields where she’d worked with her parents as the backdrop for her graduation photos.
“I would get off practice around 2 or 3 p.m., and then my dad would pick me up,” she recalled. “I would go home, change, eat, and then go to work planting strawberries overnight. And then I would get off around 2 or 3 in the morning and wake up, like, at 5:30 or 6 to get ready for school or else I would miss the city bus.”
