TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) — From virtual school to virtual graduations...Coronavirus has impacted lives in more ways than one.
TCC graduate Kathryn Deal now having to wait longer to become a nurse practitioner.
"My goal is to get through my nurse practitioner school but COVID has its way of sometimes from what I've seen it sort of make things a little bit longer," Deal said.

Saturday... he took a walk of celebration across FSU visiting his favorite spots on campus to marks his accomplishments.
"I don't want it to kill my spirits. This graduation thing... I don't think anyone can take this away from me I worked so hard for this. I put in so many hours," Greigo said.
Both students making the best out of an unexpected situation.
