'Hidden America' UPDATE: Student from struggling HS beats odds, graduates college (Nightline) 

“We don’t want nobody hitting Diane all of y’all back up”

I’m soooooo proud of the young lady that graduated. She took full advantage of that scholarship. I was wondering if she graduated. Yes sis!!! A degree in accounting, she will be able to send her kids wherever they want to go, I hope she pays it forward.

But what happen to the girl where her dad was the only one to show up ? that was a very good story in the first airing

Greatest principal of all time

Thank God for the dad that was there for his daughter.

I am happy for that young lady who got her scholarships😢

God bless that principal, Diane Sawyer and those who contributed to the plight of that school. Above all, to Drake who among many rappers prove that rap music is not all about negativity. Many rappers give back to their communities. Much success to all those students who strive to educate and better themselves.

I'm not gonna lie my eyes got watery

This made me so emotional. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the success of this school.

College deposit fees are unnecessary. The fact that it took an opportunity away from someone because they cannot afford to pay is insane. 😔

Wow. A college graduate now. God bless her!!

YEEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!I AM SO HAPPY FOR THEM!!!THIS BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES!!

That principal is the best ever she even inspires me to do better. I like the quote she said “if you give kids hope they can succeed”

It's amazing how a bit of exposure helps. These kids lives have been changed and in a way, saved. Awesome

Amazing what “sharing the wealth” can do to change a small community and an individuals life, especially to those less fortunate or unable to leave poverty.

That's the problem. Parents they expect the school to raise their kids. They have to do their part also. One parent at meeting says everything

Jesus! This warmed my heart! I hope all of them at least graduated from high school.

I’m in tears the things people take for granted this story really moved me.

drake is a beast, so sweet of him to do that

Im literally crying. That principal deserves love and hugs. a noble prize. Kids born into unfortunate circumstances should recieve assistance and resources. Seeing her graduate brought tears to my eyes. so well deservedd
