een Who Trekked Every Day To School At 4:30AM Gets Big Surprise After Grad Day Photo Goes Viral Read

https://bit.ly/2JaihKA

Nothing was going to keep teenager Corey Patrick from his high school graduation. But he had no way of knowing that a photo of him taken by a stranger that day would lead to a series of surprises that would change his life.

Nineteen-year-old Corey Patrick spent the entire school year waking up at 4:30 a.m. in order to catch the bus that would take him to Tarrant High School on time.

The Alabama teen would walk from home to his bus stop to make the 5:41 a.m. bus. After school he’d make the same long trip home, meaning he’d return home around 7 p.m.

His family recently moved to another part of town just before his senior year and neither he or his family have a car.
