Doctor cries seeing diploma after turning life around | Humankind

[@AllisChalmersMN]

I don’t know him but I’m proud of his accomplishments. As a kid he definitely wasn’t making good decisions but look at the wall behind him!!!!

[@pennPi]

It’s a shame doing well in school is frowned upon. Peer pressure has ruined many lives.

[@Daisy-zr3qm]

Im here to say, yes. I had a lot going on for me and my dumb ass really let losers make me feel bad for being smart. I disgust myself

[@prestopasta259]

@@SalemEverett i share the same regrets. i wished i had focused more.

[@MiriamH-l6d]

No family support

[@NHope-md8ds]

He is going to change a whole lot of lives. Changing his own was just the beginning.

[@simplyme922]

Congratulations Doctor!

[@Dragonfruit260]

TRUTH comes at your LOWEST never your highest!! Amazing Doctor!

[@AmarisRenaeTV]

What is meant FOR you can’t nobody take away. I love this

[@warpnin3]

He could have "taken it away" from himself by continuing on the wrong path.. I think nothing is "meant" for you; 99% of what you achieve depends on the choices you make. So glad he succeeded

[@dorothybunch1558]

Never give up.

[@zephyrr914]

People like to say making “good” choices is boring. They go on to complain that nothing ever goes their way. God (or whatever you believe in as a higher power) blesses those who do good things and make good choices. Sometimes bad things can happen but when you’re living a true life with integrity, you step up and learn and blessing just keep coming!! Greatness begets greatness. God bless y’all!

[@KaralineJ]

Please please never stop telling your story. It’s so amazing and will most certainly reach others. It’s just an incredible story.

[@zephyrr914]

Be proud of you Tommie even on those days Satan wants to whisper in your ear. You’re so amazing. God bless you and your family!

[@SuperBerya]

AMEN 🎉

[@justinwinsbro7770]

Amen!

[@JaneCooper190072]

I just hope he's still praising God, and giving Him the credit/glory

[@jonnylake3rd]

@@JaneCooper190072 Yeah because he didn’t do that himself or anything. This dude pulled himself up out of the dirt.

[@Ebunoluwa13]

@@jonnylake3rd The guy clearly stated himself in the vidoe about him asking God for a second chance and being grateful but you still bring your atheist views into someone else's story and video.🙄is it necessary to crave attention in this way?

[@bigamemphis10]

God has a way of silently speaking to you. Just had a conversation with my wife about getting my doctorates degree and was questioning whether or not I should attempt it, then this popped in my news feed. Congratulations bruh.

[@Uniklymade1]

Go 'head and pursue your doctorate, it may seem difficult at times but please keep marching on. You will be so proud of your accomplishments, and so will the people that love you. Good luck. Make sure to come back in a few years and let us see you walking across the stage.

[@malikadickinson2434]

Almighty GOD was really watching over this young man along with his family. What a blessing to turn his life around for what's right🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@meimei6769]

Need more men like this to speak to their communities. I know that younger Black men need so much more positive reenforcement and encouragement to do good. They're more than what is expected of them. They can do great with role models like you 🤲

[@jbell6852]

My husband shares a similar story. For the many who didn’t believe in him, they were many who did.

[@Uniklymade1]

There are 3 doctors/friends that made an oath several years ago. They are from Newark, NJ and if my memory serves me right they are/ were from the projects. All 3 decided to go on and become doctors regardless of their "hood" surrounding. I love to hear positive stories like this. My son also has been shot at several times. He is now incarcerated, I'm praying that he change his "hood" ways. Even if he decides to stay in Newark after his release I pray that he finally realize that the streets are not his friend.

[@camara457]

I’m from Newark too! I know what you mean. I believe he will find his way, he has to see his potential that’s all. Unfortunately, many from places like Newark are limited to places like Newark. They don’t know the world out there. Honestly when I left, I saw that there was a bigger world and it made me push myself even harder. Please show him videos like these and once he’s out, maybe go on a trip somewhere and have him meet professional/inspiring men who look like him. In the meantime, he can probably get a degree while in jail. Keep telling him he’s valuable and that his value is outside of the streets. I’ll be keeping you two in my thoughts

[@readychange-mx6cr]

These success stories are so beautiful, God bless you and congratulations..YOU DID IT !!

Wow. So absolutely proud of him. I HOPE others will see this, and make their lives meaningful, too! 💕

No. Someone was doing a lot of work. That someone is Tommie. Don't direct his valiant efforts away from him. He was the one who had to do the work to make it happen.

[@ceerstar851]

I respect it. I have a similar life. I did many things I can't take back. Through the forgiveness, strength and blessings from God I was able to change my life around. I went from jail 10 yrs ago to making nearly 200k a year. I accept responsibility for all my actions and I feel a moral responsibility to continue to try and help these young men who don't realize that there's another. And that, that way IS "cool". You don't have to be a thug or gangbanger, to have money, or meet beautiful women, or do the things you love. Doing it the right way only changes the quality of those things. Clean, legitimately earned money that no1 can take from you. Women who are intelligent, wealthy, loving, wholesome who are beautiful inside and outside. Being brought to the realization of the things you truly love by way of changing your life for the better while you otherwise would've possibly never walked that path. I have never had a better feeling than helping the ppl around want better, want more and do better for more. THE RIGHT WAY.

[@RavensRift]

Man, what a legend. I bet he's going to contribute a lot to the world of philosophy with all of the experience that led him to this point. Quick reminder, that he is an exception amongst his peers. Had he not been good at basketball, had he not come to the realization he did, he would be in a much different place. He was a victim to the circumstances he was born into and was luckily able to find his way through. We need to make it easier for the brilliant people in impoverished communities to flourish so that those people graduating high-school and getting higher education is no longer an exception to the standard, but it IS the standard.
