Watch: Student attends college graduation ceremony while in labor
student out of Michigan got to skip ahead of the line to receive her diploma during her graduation ceremony but not for the reason one might think. Kelsey Hudie was allowed to receive her diploma a tad earlier than everyone because she was in labor. The mother-to-be was 38 weeks pregnant but her baby couldn’t wait any longer. In a video taken during the ceremony at Henry Ford College on May 6, Russell Kavalhuna, the school’s president, announced to the graduates that one of their peers would need to be making a speedier exit. Still image taken from video during the Henry Ford College graduation ceremony on May 6 showing Kelsey Hudie receiving her diploma while in labor.

There’s a few things more important than a college degree, and that’s the thing she’s gotta get to," Kavalhuna said. Hudie could then be seen walking across the stage and receiving her diploma as a lullaby played in the background. "On the Tuesday before we graduated, they said that I was dilated two or three times, so that wasn’t going to stop me from walking across the stage.

Environmental groups sue Shell over air quality at massive new Pennsylvania petrochemical plant

The plaintiffs asked a judge to order Shell to bring the plant into compliance, and impose civil penalties of up to $140,000 per day.RELATED COVERAGEShell spokesperson Curtis Smith said the company had no comment on the suit.The plant has been shut down for repairs since early April after Shell said it identified a problem with its flaring system, which is designed to burn off unwanted gases.
