Graduation is such a special time in a young person's life. It's something many high school kids look forward to, no? They want to celebrate their awesome achievements with all their loved ones.
That's not what kids were able to do this year due to COVID. So, this one teacher came up with a brilliant and amazing idea to ensure that students still got their graduation moment.
He was disappointed that this year kids couldn't attend graduation ceremonies due to COVID restrictions. After speaking with his daughter, who's also a graduate this year, he envisioned his plan.
And he came up with the concept of a portable stage that can come to a student's doorstep. OMG, what an incredible idea, huh?
Everybody got on board and started to make it happen. Gowlett obtained the necessary materials and a trailer to execute the stage through local community members. It was truly a combined effort.
The portable ceremonies were held in front of the kids' houses, with only 10 people permitted to witness them, so as to adhere to COVID regulations.
So, there was someone to hand the diploma over to the graduates. I bet that was so special for each and every one of them. The fact this teacher thought of the idea speaks volumes of him.
It truly brings a tear to my eye. A teacher like this is so hard to find. The kids at this school are blessed to have somebody who cares about them as much as this guy.
A video posted on TikTok talking about this very event should be going viral by now. It's truly heartwarming to see this story unfold. And all the comments are really positive and uplifting.
He didn't have to go above and beyond for his students but did it anyway. His heart is definitely in the right place. Teachers like these need to be recognized.
Let's help get this story out there, so it might inspire other people to act selflessly like this. Who knows? Maybe we can even start some kind of positivity movement inspired by this idea.
