Alexandra Lenczewski was understandably disappointed when Brooklyn Law School postponed its in-person graduation ceremony to next fall amid the coronavirus pandemic.

But instead of bumming out about the delayed celebration, she decided to create her own miniature graduation ceremony in the backyard of her parents' Connecticut home, complete with tiny photos of all 300 of her classmates. The video of her small-scale celebration has since gone viral, landing on Good Morning America, NBC News, Fox News and other media outlets across the globe.

"It has been crazy," Lenczewski said in an interview Tuesday. "It was amazing to see how many people really enjoyed the story. I believe that Brooklyn Law School and the graduating class deserve all the attention they've received."

Lenczewski isn't the only freshly minted J.D. whose graduation activities have captured the hearts of those near and far. Vana Ebrahimi, who graduated this month from Loyola Law School, Los Angeles, has also become a sensation for her touching Tik Tok video in which she and her brother visit their grandfather in graduation regalia and stand outside the door of his California nursing home. (Her brother graduated from medical school this month, and the siblings are first-generation college students.)

Their 86-year-old grandfather—an Iranian immigrant whom they call "Metspop," which means "grandfather" in Armenian—smiles then breaks down in tears as a nurse brings him in a wheelchair to a glass door as his grandchildren stand outside. Ebrahimi said in an interview that it was the first time she had seen her happy-go-lucky grandfather cry, even though they were joyful tears. But there was never any doubt that she and her brother would find a way to include their grandfather, even though he is recovering from a broken hip in a rehabilitation facility.

"For us, it has been a family thing," Ebrahimi said. "[Our education] was a family effort, and pandemic or not, we're going to make sure everyone is included, since everyone has been through this with us. That includes my grandpa. He has been a big supporter throughout all these years."

Ebrahimi never expected the video to blow up the way it has, appearing on Good Morning America and numerous other news outlets.

"It blows my mind," said Ebrahimi, who is joining law firm Fisher & Phillips as an associate. "It's so touching that our story has resonated with so many people."

For Lenczewski, creating her own backyard graduation ceremony was a way to bring joy to her classmates and their families and acknowledge all their hard work over the past three years.

"I knew a lot of people were disheartened about the situation, and I really wanted every single student to feel acknowledged for their accomplishment," she said. "That's why I took the time to line all the little flags up in alphabetical order and make sure everyone was included. I wanted to make sure everyone could pause and find themselves in the student body."

It took three days to create all the "flags" for each Brooklyn Law graduate and shoot and edit the video. She posted a video of the graduation on her Instagram, and later shared it on Twitter where it went viral. She originally wanted to have the video appear on "Some Good News," the uplifting online show hosted by actor John Krasinski. (Some Good News did share the video on its own Twitter account.)

But Lenczewski has more on her plate than just creating viral videos. She's studying to take the Patent Bar Exam and will take the regular bar exam in September. (New York has postponed the July test.) After that, she's got a job lined up at an intellectual property boutique.
