Wow, this young man is just that, a man today. He will make himself and his father proud when he next graduates from collage in 4 years. You can bet his dad is watching from Heaven.
We need more young people like this, young man has great respect for his parents. As a son it was very hard to lose my dad, and I was 50 years old, when my dad passed away. As a father I know that his dad is very proud of him, bless this young man and his family😊
Tears right now. What courage it took from this young man to be able to get up and do this. If he keeps his focus, there’s nothing that can stop him. Cool under immense pressure. I’m proud of him too.
Hey kids, know that all parents aren't perfect....but if they get you so far, know that they always had your best interest at heart...love and appreciate them while you can.
You are not alone, we are there with you, young man! We feel your pain, your loss and at the meantime, we are so very proud of you. Somewhere, you father is extremely proud of you.
God bless that brave young man. His dad would be so very proud of him. Congratulations for being valedictorian and doing what is probably the hardest thing he’s ever had to do. I don’t know how he kept his composure, my tears are flowing. Good luck to him, he will do well in life.
His dad raised a wonderful kid. Immigrant families are some of the hardest working, most thankful there is. I’m saying this as a white American who married into an Iranian family.
His father is watching at him from heaven knowing that his son is an overachiever student wearing all those graduation honor stoles over his shoulders. Congratulations !🙏❤💯
You did a good job! Both your parents are proud of you And keep on achieving your goals in life. On the other hand It's sad to hear for the saddened loss of your Dad. Be strong!
Alem, I'm so glad the news picked up your story because your words are reaching thousands of hearts with this speech, and I believe you will continue to reach hearts. Your dad lives on in you and he will always be with you. He would want you to go live your beautiful life. You will find many ways to honor him throughout the years. Hard work got you here and much still is ahead, but I hope you'll make time for fun. Exercise and rest are so important, too. My deepest condolences to you, your mom, sister and other family and loved ones. This right here is a what makes America great. Immigrants coming to our country generation after generation since the beginning. They raise their families with good honest values, to value education and hard work, to love and take care of their children. The U.S. is blessed to be a nation of immigrants!
your dad is looking down with proud joy for you forever! you are so strong for doing this and im crying for your loss. RIP to your Dad and continue his legacy!
WOW !!what an amazing young man his “dad and mom” raised!! Your courage and strength is amazing !! God Bless You young man and may your dad’s soul rest in peace, Amen🙏🙏🙏
Being a valedictorian despite having hard times (taking care of dad at the hospital, going through all mental states and studying so well) is really commendable. Nothing but a good life, man!
What maturity, to go against your feelings and do what you need you know to do! This amazing young man has SUCCESS written all over him! Proudest mom in attendance I’ll bet! Such an inspiring young man, true role model to his peers! (Congrats to the college/university that landed him!!)
First, let me say how sorry I am for your loss. It's very evident the bond you had w your dad. What an inspiration you are, young man! It's beyond encouraging to see how much you loved your dear father. What strength and courage God bestowed on you at only 18 years of age. You have truly honored your father and mother by takng care of him thru his illness, and by delivering a graduation speech on the same day as his funeral. Your parents have done such an awesome job raising you to be the young man that you are. I pray you continue to live your life in such a way that honors both your parents. You have such potential! God bless you😊
One can only be respectful and impressed by this young man. May your father continue to Rest In Peace. May you continue to honor his legacy, by creating your own. Well done, young man. You are the man of the house now. Follow in your father’s shoes. Make him proud. More proud than you have already made him.
What an impressive and resilient young man! Your father can’t be prouder of you, and the same with all who know about your story. Wishing you a bright and meaningful life❤
Alex, you are surrounded & supported by us all. Even strangers can root you on & wish you the BEST life. God bless your entire family. Especially your mother. ❤
That man is smiling from Heaven. That’s a parents dream to raise good children that will exceed our expectations and make us and God proud. This kid did both. Bless him.
Awesome son, your father is very proud of you and so is the rest of the world. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Live a beautiful life and be proud of yourself for your courage you have shown. ❤️🙏✝️
I'm sure we haven't seen the last of this remarkable young man ... he will make himself heard in a positive sense more often during the rest of his still young life. Such a strong character at a young age bodes well for the future. Best wishes to him.
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG MAN YOU ARE!! HE WOULD BE SO VERY PROUD OF YOU AND I BELUEVE HE KNEW!! I PRAY NOTHING BUT GOOD FOR YOU IN THE DAYS TO COME!! WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE WANTING TO DO. GOD BLESS YOU HONEY❤❤ YOU ARE DEFINATELY NOT ALONE💞💞
I cannot even imagine how hard this was for you. I pray for you and your family. I pray that time and the wonderful memories of time spent together with family will help you to deal with such a tremendous loss. I am sure that your father loved you dearly and is looking down on you from heaven. Your father was a good man who did a remarkable job raising you.
I convey my sincerest condolences to Alem and his family. Alem is a courageous, determined, and focused young man, and I have no doubts that he will go far in his life.
I'm crying. That mom and dad raised a remarkable young man.
I’m crying too. I also understood what he was going through. What an inspiring man he’s become.
That takes balls. Well done kid.
