Now to a remarkable celebration of perseverance. 
This is Jaden Pikin. 
You can see him walking with a robotic exoskeleton to receive his master's degree this weekend from Virginia Union University. 
Jaden was hit by a truck in 2024 while riding an ecooter, leaving him paralyzed from the chest down. 
He's now working toward a career in real estate where he wants to help others like him with disabilities find accessible housing and take their own next step toward a bright future. 
Yes, man.
