'Hidden America' UPDATE: Student from struggling HS beats odds, graduates college (Nightline)

[@lxspa529]

I’m soooooo proud of the young lady that graduated. She took full advantage of that scholarship. I was wondering if she graduated. Yes sis!!! A degree in accounting, she will be able to send her kids wherever they want to go, I hope she pays it forward.

Thank God for the dad that was there for his daughter.

[@OneLoveLawnGroveCity]

But what happen to the girl where her dad was the only one to show up ? that was a very good story in the first airing

[@minipony1722]

She went to college on full scholarship and to got science bachelor’s and another scholarship

This made me so emotional. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the success of this school.

[@Forthewin1436]

YEEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!I AM SO HAPPY FOR THEM!!!THIS BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES!!

[@cedricro.9909]

God bless that principal, Diane Sawyer and those who contributed to the plight of that school. Above all, to Drake who among many rappers prove that rap music is not all about negativity. Many rappers give back to their communities. Much success to all those students who strive to educate and better themselves.

[@lelabrooks04]

You are right. A friend of mine daughter attended Howard Univ. She received help from Jayz. Now she is a lawyer with Google in Cali

[@kimthreadgold2755]

@Yoshi Tekashi It sends a message that people believe in them and want to help. Rapper, doctor...money is needed and saves lives..

I am happy for that young lady who got her scholarships😢

[@miac.3315]

Wow. A college graduate now. God bless her!!

[@jacobnemeth7634]

It's amazing how a bit of exposure helps. These kids lives have been changed and in a way, saved. Awesome

[@jonathanlamas7004]

That principal is the best ever she even inspires me to do better. I like the quote she said “if you give kids hope they can succeed”

[@teehigh8012]

I'm not gonna lie my eyes got watery

[@jacksters19]

Tee High mine did too

[@LIDABEAR]

College deposit fees are unnecessary. The fact that it took an opportunity away from someone because they cannot afford to pay is insane. 😔

[@timbrown5576]

I understand the deposit fees because each college has thousands of applicants for only a few spots and the deposit is the only way to ensure that spot.

[@nakih2693]

I’m in tears the things people take for granted this story really moved me.

[@domojackson12]

Im literally crying. That principal deserves love and hugs. a noble prize. Kids born into unfortunate circumstances should recieve assistance and resources. Seeing her graduate brought tears to my eyes. so well deservedd

[@AirOnTheAir]

Jesus! This warmed my heart! I hope all of them at least graduated from high school.

[@roseanneyn7952]

Amazing what “sharing the wealth” can do to change a small community and an individuals life, especially to those less fortunate or unable to leave poverty.

[@swanoto6314]

Yeah it's amazing that only one ABC News special aired and it brought so much positive change to that school.

[@smdhthisworld2986]

That's the problem. Parents they expect the school to raise their kids. They have to do their part also. One parent at meeting says everything

[@edalys190]

drake is a beast, so sweet of him to do that

[@melaniesky3184]

Right! I was super surprised! Their school has totally turned around!

[@ieshadavis587]

Congrats honey! Her smile is amazing!! So glad she went to college.

[@sandrafurlong2627]

I could not help but get emotional, what a great principal, I have so much admiration for her, one parent turned up for teacher parent day, that speaks volumes. My heart goes out to those pupils.

[@sweetbeeluvera1450]

we need to see more stories like this and more encouragement because a lot of kids are struggling to get to college and get through college or even eat through college!! so to see this gave me a little bit more faith in humanity!!

[@simsisthebest66]

God bless her. This melted my heart. A strong, beautiful, determined, persevering young woman she got that diploma and you could tell by the look on her face when she was walking down the aisle that she grew significantly as an individual thru that entire journey... these kids are stronger than anyone will ever know. Pushing thru each and every day despite the challenges/struggles they face. God bless, Dios put your blessings on these children and this community and the adults who do their part

[@alcd6333]

Great job. Schools are supposed to be safe places to learn, not a war zone. Here's hoping Strawberry Mansion - and many other schools like it - continue to improve.

[@ZanetkaPL]

I'm a teacher and I'm crying watching this

[@sweetnostalgia6573]

Beautiful principal with an amazing heart. Drake was amazing too. I almost cried at what he did. If you kids who went and still attend this school are reading this. Keep moving forward, to not only make your lives better, but the lives and happiness of others better aswell.

[@jonnyhappyfeetgaming511]

6:30 the writing on that dude's hat.... 😂😂😂

[@deborahfrancois5596]

That is how we help our own, EDUCATION kudos to this principle God bless you mum

[@aura6485]

It was so hard not to cry while watching this. I have never seen schools this bad in England but I am extremely happy for all the students that were able to feel noticed. I wish them happiness and success in life! Honestly I wish I knew about the donations beforehand. In the UK we don't have to worry so much about paying for university since there is always student loans or alternatives to university like apprenticeships which still results in a degree.

[@isabellateodoro2057]

Did anyone notice that guys hat at 6:31?😂

Why don’t they have different lunch periods?!?!?!

[@edt501]

I live around the corner from the school... I was told that the the school enrollment could be 1200 was less than 100..I guess there wasn't enough students to have different lunch periods

[@tiffanygunter2778]

yess... so happy for her

[@elijahtorres2688]

That was so sweet and touching of Linda Cliatt-Wayman to be Razzaq’s mentor after transferring schools and moving out of the city and for her to visit Christine at her college graduation. We need WAY MORE principals like her that show love, brave, gratitude, motivation, and care to students!!!

[@angelamarie3617]

That is so strange that the entire school has lunch at the same time. I've never ever heard of that before! That needs to be changed asap!!!

[@laurairizarry8140]

The part that makes me sad at 3:32 she said she would go to PhilaU (Philadelphia University) I was just finishing my Freshman year there. The campus is small but that just means we have more reason to interact but I never met her I was in a 5 year program that took me a little longer than it should to graduate (I'm not very academic and history and technical math are hard) so instead of graduating when she did like I was supposed to I graduated after her.

[@rosalindacalvillo8501]

This made me tear up at the end

[@sherrycissokho-parker2988]
