Thousands of high school grads across the country are walking across the stage to receive some well-deserved recognition for their last four years of hard work – and Corey Patrick is no exception.
For the entirety of his senior year, Corey has been waking up at 4AM every morning to take the bus to Tarrant High School. The student had gone to Tarrant city schools for most of his life until he recently moved from Birmingham, Alabama to West End, and even though it was a long commute, he said he wanted to go back to Tarrant for his final year of high school so he could graduate with his friends.
People have been praising Corey’s hard work after a bus driver snapped a photo of him walking away from the bus while he was all dressed up in his cap and gown for graduation.
Additionally, Corey had ridden the bus by himself because his family had been unable to find transportation until the very last minute.
