Student seen walking to catch bus to graduation in viral photo given car by radio host
https://www.yahoo.com/news/student-seen-walking-catch-bus-205700541.htmlAn Alabama student has been given the gift of a car after pictures of him walking to catch a bus to his high school graduation went viral.
Thousands of messages praising the determination of Corey Patrick came in from across the US after a local bus driver DeJuanna Beasely posted photos of the teenager to Facebook.
Patrick, a graduate of Tarrant High School, had been making the same 90-minute journey all the way through his final year after his family - who do not own a car - moved out of the area.
But Patrick was adamant that he wanted to graduate with his friends. “I had to do what was necessary for me to walk this year,” he told local news outlet WBRC.
