Watch Reaction Of Teen With Cerebral Palsy On Getting Selected For Harvard

In a wholesome video going viral on the internet, a teenage boy with cerebral palsy can be seen getting ecstatic upon receiving the news of him getting selected into the prestigious Harvard University. The boy and his sister's happiness in the video is winning the hearts of the netizens.

Your limitations and disabilities cannot decide your future and if you diligently work towards your goals and desires that nothing in this world can stop you from achieving them. We often see people talk about how the future of specially-abled people is dark and how they have fewer opportunities. However, despite of such discouraging comments by such insensitive people, some specially-abled people do not give up their desires to their physical and mental limitations and prove that they can achieve anything they want. A similar example was set by a teenage boy who, despite suffering from cerebral palsy, did not give up his dream of studying at Harvard University.
