His beautiful tenor voice soared and took us beyond the theater walls into the heavens.
He sang in various languages showing his acumen, talent, and ability and in a memorable duet.
So grateful for the support, and after the cheering and applause died down, an emotional graduate, thanked all in attendance, but mainly his family, mother, father and sister both for their love and support, but for their immense sacrifice to make this day possible.
