I'm not crying, we're all crying.
Yeah😢
Right there with you.
No
Y’all better pay attention to her bc she’s destined for greatness ❤️
👍🏾💯👏🏾
ok
I sincerely hope she’d look into running for office. That was a presidential level of example she set for young people.
That’s so touching! Hope she has a bright future- she deserves t!
She has me crying like she is my daughter.. I'm so proud of her and hope she has a very successful life. Bless her.
What a generous Soul
How generous, I admire their kind decision!
That’s awesome 🤩 $40k could pay for at least 5 to 8 students at Community College 🥰👍🏽🙏🏽
that's great! I didn't know that!
Hopefully! My community college is 21k for 2 years for diesel tech.
@@InevitableTruth247 wow thats very expensive but generally most school would be on the much cheaper side, around 6k to finish. that 40k is an amazing gift to so many that would be in need
Kelly101Girl do you live in America? I’ve not heard of community colleges yet that have 6k per year
@@InevitableTruth247 CT is less than 6k a year
The youth is making great hope fot U.S.A.
Wow, she is a beautiful person with a wonderful heart. As a Nigerian and a black girl myself, I'm so proud of her and what she stands for. I graduated high school as the class of 2020, but I hope that I get to be as amazing as her despite our one year different lol. I truly wish her the best because I know she'll really do something very big in the future and she'll excel at Harvard she truly deserves that spot. Kudos to her!
In tears of joy. God bless her abundantly for this selfless act!!!
This dang video got me crying now! What a selfless young lady!!
What a wonderful young lady. This is beautiful.
Respect to her, she'll be blessed in life.
I really dont understand why people dislike such videos, it is such a great gesture to look after someone and help them.
Misery loves company brother.🤷🏾♂️
Sad little trolls craving the attention while they sit in their mom's basement and frantically play with their tiny mouse.
Heartwarming story, God bless this beautiful woman🔥💐👏🏽
What a great person!
No words. I’m in tears. Her mom saying that the gesture meant her daughter was ready to face the world was so on point.
I wish her nothing but the best! She's amazing
She's amazing👏🏾
That was so beautiful. I hope her future is bright and full of success. She deserves every last bit of happiness there is.
The Spirit of America has been unleashed. My sister continue to shine your grace upon us😉
Nope.That's the spirit of Africa trying to show America how things should be done .
That's the complete opposite of the spirit of America
But distributing money to those who need it most is socialism...
I have three children, and seen this graceful, smart and generous selfish act gives me hope. The world is going to be a better place!!!
Wow why am l crying. Your mum did a great job she must be proud.
What a wonderful gesture that will go unnoticed by the majority. However, it will be very much appreciated by the recipient. Bravo.
Before people start saying, "We need more people like her", please remember that the root issue is that higher education in the USA is too expensive. Most of the USA's developed counterparts don't have this problem. We should take Tetteh's kind act as a reminder that we still have a very serious problem in the USA in regards to higher education costs. She is a beautiful soul for her generosity, but no one should have to give up a scholarship they earned.
Edit- TLDR: Tetteh is amazing for what she did, but we don't need more people like her. Instead, we need our higher education to be affordable to working families.
Thank you for giving someone else an opportunity at success. Alhamdullilah!💜
She gives me so much hope. Super inspirational. 💕
The onions from my phone… wheeeeew🥺👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
You got them too? Thought it might have been allergies.
That a good human being right there , rare , seeing wars and people justifying wars , gives me hope to see a woman of character
I am about to graduate tommrow from high school, the world needs more peopl like her.
She proved that nothing is impossible
That is really touching. I had to go to community college due to financial reasons. College is really expensive. I wish upper education were accessible even for the poor.
Man that's awesome of her!
Such a generous heart!
What an amazing thing to know that our young generation has such a bright future. Our young generation can see a need, a problem, or an injustice and they can come together and solve it and many times so selflessly....our government cannot even do that. Perhaps we should consider electing the younger generation to Congress maybe they could show the older ones a thing or two
Pay it forward and it will have a bigger impact that you as an individual could've expected...and we are all better for it! Bravo 🤗
I wish i was as capable,smart as she is
I'm sure you are, you may not have figured out how yet.☺️
@@lifeamotha3975 thank you for your kind words ☺️
Here's to the future college student who gets that award. I hope you go far too.
God bless U girl and everyone in this world !
Clapping in my bed 👏 She is amazing! Great future ahead
Why would 7 people dislike this story? What a sad commentary on those people 😢
The young Immigrant is what all Americans should aspire to be, greatful for the opportunity she made for herself ❤
I'd like to know who will receive the scholarship in her place..
Same tbh
Probably nobody, the point in a scholarship is that YOU have been chosen to receive funding due to YOUR achievements ect. So it doesn’t really matter if other people need it more than you, the truth is they didn’t achieve what was necessary to get it.
@@haydenscholze7452 Then the school failed _two_ people, instead of one.
Hayden Scholze but other people receiving it can be the difference between a decade of debt or a few years of debt.
Truly is excellent...
Almost cried at work
Lmao her parents fuming rn 😂
I wish her the best in the future Queen!!!
Greatness exists. Love exists.
Beautifully selfless
I will take it. I applied to 70 scholarships. No luck
If I was the Father I would have walked right up on that stage and said we are not forfeiting this scholarship. It wouldn't matter if she had a full ride including tuition and room and board, there are many expenses that come with going to college over a 4 or 6 year span. That could have been 10k a year to cover car insurance, car note, travel to and from school by plane. It could have been used for off campus housing. If she got an internship in the summer anywhere in the country or the world and needed to have her own money to stay or to use while interning. The list goes on but she said no my parents will handle that. Theres a way to be charitable but you must do so in a way that doesn't make you regret it years later.
I agree. I thought this was a bad choice. Just because something feels like the right thing to do doesn't mean it is. Hopefully she really doesn't need it.
@@eems6859 if her parents are multi millionaires and are footing everything then yeah but if not, this was an unwise decision
Lets hope they honor it though. Unfortunately, most would not.
She doesn't _have_ a bright future, she IS the future!
all the while jeff bezos claimes $4000 tax credit from the state. hilarious.
40k for a cc is too much lmao. Hopefully they can get multiple students college with 40k
does it mean she will not be going to Harvard?
College should be free. But I know there's gonna be backfire about me saying that...Education should be free, our kids should not have to be in debt thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) to get a better life.
She checked her privilege! Wish more would do this in other areas of life, but they deny the privilege they have
The youth will bring the world back to the people
Someone deserving of the award but giving it to others to support their dreams of pursuing higher education, just wow.
Weird that my mind immediately thought of Olivia Jade and her parents when watching this though. Maybe it’s the word scholarship in the thumbnail.
A true Queen!
Young people gotta fix the world
Character.
😭
Wow……….. I simply do not know what to say 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
good for them :3
Congrats
Beautiful
10/10
Love her
nice pple finish last

Y’all being swindled and bamboozled she gonna turn around and ask for donations and get hundreds of thousands lmaoo she finessed y’all heavy
The only person that got finessed here was you. You couldn't even take the time to watch the video in its entirety?
It appears your attention span is lacking.
Bye bye
Lol u must b her sister y’all look like twins
@@ShayMarie.00 They claimed that they were educated in another thread.
You see the results.
@@ShayMarie.00 u look EXACTLY like her don’t front
First
and I hear republicans say this upcoming generation doesn't get it....pshhhhh
Republicans would say she's giving a handout.
-_-
So how she paying for her own college now?? Lemme guess gofundme donations smh she’s a scam artist
You knew there would have to be at least one of these in a YT comments section.
It’s the truth stay sleep tho she preying on ppl like u with pure hearts and there’s a lot of them the gesture is nice but she had and has alter ur motives . Don’t b surprised tho
It's mentioned that she received a scholarship to attend Harvard and her mom look so proud of her her smile said it all if she was really in need I think her mom won't be as proud as she is
SMH ur not making sense . Any mom gonna smile regardless if they had the money or not cus Harvard Is a top Ivy League school smh ur unbelievable
You seem to embrace a life of misery. If you cared to watch the video to its conclusion, it is clearly stated that she has received prior financial aid and scholarships to attend Harvard.
Mad respect
