11-Year-Old Reacts To Being Accepted Into Dream School

This is the heartwarming moment an 11-year-old who hopes to one day provide for his single mother who raised him was accepted into his dream school. Jabre Porter, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was given the news he had been wishing for by his mom Ericka Williams - that he had been accepted into private school Girard College. Ericka filmed her son’s reaction as he starts crying tears of joy before being congratulated with a big hug by Mr. Thornton, one of his teachers at Kipp Philadelphia Preparatory Academy. Girard is a full-scholarship - over $60,000 per year average - boarding school for “academically capable” students from families without one or both biological parents and with limited financial resources. Jabre will be one of only 16-22 students in his grade, in a school of around just over 300 pupils.
