The media call him a courageous victim. More like a courageous Survivor. A true legend.

Fun Fact: You didn’t search for this... BUT you weren’t disappointed.

There is a girl who was in my class who graduated with me recently. She went blind after a car accident and is in a wheelchair. But she'd been practicing standing up again and she walked onstage to get her diploma too. I was really inspired by her determination and her patience onstage, even though her legs must've hurt. She'd been having a difficult time at school but she had a sense of humor that was unrivaled. I'm also blind and graduated with academic honors but I didn't suffer anything as severe as this. I was so proud to be her classmate in graduation. She had only started high school that year and was graduating with me so she could go to an adult transition program. I bet she's doing so well there.

Prime example of how life can take a drastic turn literally overnight. Be humble folks nothing is promised.

mistaken identity. either way that person should not be shooting anyone.

“Thankful I got a lot of friends and family” at age 15 after being paralyzed in a senseless act. What a STRONG MAN

I hope he has gotten even better in the past 7 years, and I hope he has had a good life since.

1st time that I am seeing this and it brought tears to my eyes. Congratulations Aaron for graduating and for not letting anything stop your dreams. Your parents and family and everyone that supported and helped you also deserve a very big Thank You.

This was four years ago meaning that he probably graduated from college by now. Hope he’s doing good 😌

I’m 14, and i couldn’t imagine that happening to me. I am SO PROUD of this young man! Truly a hero too. He should write a childrens book.
