While many kids try their hardest to get out of having to go to their high school graduation, one Pennsylvania teen was crushed when he woke up and realized he had missed the ceremony.
On May 22, three days before graduation, East Juniata High School senior Scott Dunn was all set to get his diploma and walk across the graduation stage in front of his friends and family, however, that was all taken away from him when he got in a serious car accident that day.
Dunn was rushed to the hospital, and placed in a medically induced coma and didn’t wake up until a week later. And when he realized the date, he was crushed that he missed his graduation.
However, when the school’s principal got word that Dunn had woken up, and was being released from the hospital, he came up with the perfect plan.
With the help of the graduating class, the school recreated the graduation down to a T for Dunn. “Oh goodness, all the students were all excited and in their graduation gowns and caps again,” principal Benjamin Fausey said. “There was so much positive energy.”
And when Dunn got to walk across the stage and was handed his diploma, the entire class exploded in cheers and clapping. “I don’t know how to even explain it,” Dunn said. “I’m speechless to know that this many people are behind me.”
Watch the entire video below to see Dunns stunned reaction to the touching graduation ceremony.
