Teen with cerebral palsy surprises classmates, walks for the first time at high school graduation

Micah McDade has been confined to a wheelchair since birth because of cerebral palsy, but when he graduated on May 20, he chocked his classmates and all those in attendance when he walked across the stage for the first time.

During the graduation ceremony at Okmulgee High School in Okmulgee, Oklahoma, McDade was pushed onto the stage in his wheelchair, but when the time came for him to receive his diploma, he wanted to showcase the hard work that he had been doing in secret in order to be able to walk.

When he did, his parents, Mark and Anisa McDade, were crying with joy as they watched their son.
