Venus Williams is more than just a star tennis player. She's a college graduate! And unlike those honorary degrees given to so many celebrities, Williams actually hit the books and earned a Bachelors of Science in Business Administration from Indiana University. The tennis champ, who's into the second round so far at the U.S. Open, enrolled in the university's online degree completion program back in 2011, and on her way to a tournament in Cincinnati in August, stopped by the Richmond, Indiana, campus to pick up her well-deserved diploma. Williams stated in a press release, "It was always my dream to have a business degree, and I ended up going to art school so many times, but in the back of my head I felt like I needed the tools to be a better leader."

She has always been my favorite sister.

Way to work through it all. She is a tough and focused young woman.
