Autistic Student Shocks Everyone With His Unexpected Graduation Speech

We usually take everything for granted, when many people from all around the world struggle to talk, walk or learn.

While autism is not considered a disability or a disease, it certainly makes people’s lives a bit more difficult when it comes to experiencing life and interacting with others.

A Life Of Being Different

For instance, Sef Scott knew he was different, but those that stood by his side encouraged him to be the best version of himself.

Then, one day he got up on the stage in front of hundreds of students who couldn’t believe Sef was actually there to give a speech.

High School Graduation

Graduating from high school is one of the most important moments in a person’s life. This marks the end of their teenage years and the start of a new era, college!

Sef was only 17 years old when he mustered the courage to talk in front of a huge audience. But then the principal started speaking and people couldn’t believe what he was asking for.

An Amazing Speech Interrupted 

Sef’s mother had no idea her son would ever want to walk on a stage to talk about his important day and inspire the students, but as soon as he started delivering the speech, everyone was in tears. So why did the school principal asked him to stop?

How did it all start?

Speech Audition

A few months before the graduation day, Sef’s mom Vicky saw a notice announcing seniors they could audition for the graduation speech.

She wondered if her son would want to be part of this experience, and one morning, she asked him what was his opinion. His answer shocked her!
