Shamicka took to Instagram to share how difficult it was to let her daughter go into something unknown, especially since they've never been separated for long periods of time.

"Today was one of the hardest days of my life. I left my baby girl at school to start her new chapter of college life. Your father and I are so proud of the young woman that you have become."
