linking verb

what's the difference between

I was graduated from ABC university
and
I graduated from ABC university.

Is the linking verb ok to appear in this sentence?
or does it change the meaning?

thanks for helping solving the problem :)

<< I was graduated from ABC university >>
The graduation was forced upon you.
One way this may happen - ABC university was sick of you so
they graduated you to get rid of you.
<< I graduated from ABC university.>>
Standard form of graduation.
