Ted Sams, 78, receives his original high school diploma during San Gabriel High School's graduation at the Rose Bowl on Friday, May 27, 2022, in Pasadena, Calif. Now 78, Sams can finally call himself a graduate after donning a cap and gown and receiving his diploma Friday with the class of 2022 at Southern California’s San Gabriel High School.
Back in 1962 when he was a high school senior, Sams got in trouble and was suspended five days before the end of the school year. He said he missed a crucial final exam and had to make it up over the summer. “When I went back with my grade, they wouldn’t give me my diploma because I owed $4.80 for a book,” Sams toldThe school still had Sams’ original diploma locked away in an old filing cabinet. He beamed as he walked across the graduation stage at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena and received the diploma.
“Over the years, I complained to my kids a number of times about how $4.80 kept me from having my diploma,” he said.
You’re never too old to go back make something right. Great story. Congratulations!
I heard he was looking for Seniors and made a mistake
Congratulations Mr Sams! Lifetime achievement right there!
Someone should have told Ted you don’t have to actually attend your graduation to graduate.
Viola said that the EU will return Kosovo and Metohija to Serbia, that it will pay compensation for bombing and sanctions, as well as that it will return 50 billion euros sucked out of Serbia from 2000 to 2010 !!! Only then will Serbia be admitted to the EU as an equal member!
Ok.
