Good Stuff: A kid with CP Walked at his Graduation!

A kid named Micah McDade graduated from high school last week in Okmulgee, Oklahoma, about 40 miles south of Tulsa.

And he has cerebral palsy, so he uses a wheelchair.  But he surprised his classmates at their graduation ceremony last Friday . . . by WALKING across the stage to get his diploma.

He’d been working at it for months, and didn’t tell anyone at school.  But as soon as he stood up, they realized what was happening and gave him a standing ovation.
