You may have read the beautiful story that my colleague Jennifer Oliver O’Connell wrote, which was published late on Friday night as part of her Feel-Good Friday series. It involved a family getting the chance to see their baby girl with profound learning disabilities receive her college diploma at Clemson University, thanks to a dedicated program the educational institution has in place.
The heartwarming twist was that graduate’s dad was not seated in the spectators’ section at Clemson, though. He just happens to be the university’s president, and had the honor of personally handing his daughter that golden ticket to a wider, more fulfilling future. But don’t consider my pale summary of the video and O’Connell’s piece as a replacement; I encourage you to read and watch the whole thing at the link below.
