We thought Irked’s readers might enjoy seeing this heartwarming and historic photograph, taken Monday evening at Lewis Schofield’s Grade 8 graduation ceremony.
He was intent on graduating with his classmates and so, a mere 12 days after major surgery, Lewis—with the help of a wheelchair—attended his graduation!
What neither he nor his mother knew was that he had been chosen to receive the Medal of Perseverance. What’s more, his entire class stood up and gave him a standing ovation (without prompting from any adults), and the adults followed suit in giving Lewis a standing ovation. Needless to say, Lewis was very touched and extremely honoured.
Quite frankly…we, too, are a little verklempt at the thought of Lewis dressed in a suit-and-tie attending his graduation. We, too, have shpilkes in our geneckteckessoinks.
Mr. Lewis, we salute you!
