Any graduation is a wonderful accomplishment. You are graduating from one level to another, moving on with your life and education.
For those with learning disorders or any disadvantage of any kind, graduating is a tremendous accomplishment. School is no easy feat, but hard work and determination shows that anything is possible.
During the 2018 graduation from Midland Lee High School, one student in particular stole the show: 19-year-old Carlos Neira.
Carlos Neira, also known as “Mr. Joyous”, made the internet smile when a video of Midland’s graduation was shared on Midland Independent School District’s Facebook page.
In the short 30 second video, you can see Carlos’s excitement as he steps on stage. The moment his name is called, the audience erupts in cheers. Clearly Mr. Joyous is adored by his fellow peers.
Seeing Carlos’ excitement, you can’t help but smile along with him. He actually bounces across stage, unable to contain his enthusiasm. Even the faculty join him in his unbridled happiness, returning his hugs and beaming at him with proud smiles.
The heartwarming video was shared on Facebook with the following caption:
