#jaiyeorie Video: Passengers throw a graduation party for a student who missed his graduation ceremony because he was stuck on the train

 

A Hunter College nursing graduate missed his graduation ceremony after he got stuck on the train. He got a train celebration, with lots of hugs. The party was thrown by other passengers and some of his friends were on the  train.

“I was on track to be at my commencement at 9:15 a.m., but the delays altogether ended up taking almost three hours,” Alcantara said. “After 45 minutes, I knew I was already late, but I kept hoping that I’d at least make it to walking the stage.” He didn’t make it, but thanks to some friends and strangers on the train that day, he still got to experience a formal graduation. Sort of. A friend presented Alcantara with a “diploma” via a cell phone, while somebody else on the train blasted “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)” by Green Day. Another passenger filmed the makeshift ceremony and posted the video to Facebook.
