She’s known around the world for her talent on a skateboard and for her success at the Olympics, but this week she showed everyone that she’s just as committed to her education.
The two-time Olympic medalist has officially graduated from high school, and her celebration post quickly caught the attention of fans everywhere.
It’s not every day you hear about a teenager balancing global competitions with school deadlines, but Rayssa has been doing exactly that.
Between training, traveling, and competing, she still found the time and focus to complete her studies.
Her graduation shows she’s been handling both her career and her own growth at the same time with no excuses.
On social media, Rayssa shared an emotional message that gave people a peek into how meaningful this moment is for her.
She thanked her parents for supporting her from the beginning and for always reminding her to believe in herself. She also mentioned “Titati,” showing how important the people closest to her have been throughout this stage of her life.
Rayssa didn’t forget to appreciate her teachers either.
She wrote about the lessons they shared inside and outside the classroom and how they became more than instructors as the years went by.
The affection in her words made it clear that these connections shaped her experience in a special way.
She also shouted out Aunt Cláudia, Alana, and Leandro for always coming through and giving her chances that meant a lot to her.
The 17-year-old explained how grateful she was for the trust they placed in her, especially when she was chosen to be the class speaker.
She described the whole experience as something truly special and expressed her love for their family, calling them a second home.
Her message ended with a sweet note to her friends, who completed this school chapter alongside her.
She shared how happy she was to live this phase with them and how their friendship made everyday life at school lighter and more enjoyable.
With all the attention surrounding her success on a skateboard, it’s refreshing to see Rayssa celebrating something that so many young people can relate to.
Graduation may be a common event, but coming from someone who spends so much of her life traveling and competing, it’s a reminder of how much effort she puts into everything she does.
Rayssa closed her post with simple, heartfelt words: “I did it, we did it!” And honestly, that says it all.

“Finally, graduated!
Another chapter of my life has been completed, another dream achieved.
I want to thank my dad and mom for teaching me to believe in myself, for being by my side, and for encouraging me like no one else. Without you, none of this would be possible. Titati, thank you for every scolding and for helping me every single second!
To the teachers, a huge thank-you for every lesson, both inside and outside the classroom. You were like guides, mentors, and, beyond that, we became friends throughout this entire journey.
A special thank-you to Aunt Cláudia, Alana, and Leandro. Thank you for giving me this incredible opportunity, for every detail and every act of kindness. Thank you for trusting me to be the class speaker—it was all so unique. I love your family; may God continue to bless and protect each one of you. A heartfelt thank-you; you were my second home!
To my friends, we’ve completed another cycle together. I’m so happy to have shared this school phase with you; now, the best is yet to come. I love each one of you; our friendship made our routine so much lighter!
I did it, we did it!”
