Girl Who Aced Grades Surprised With Dream Trip To See Sister In New York

A six-year-old girl who dreamed of visiting her older sister in New York burst into tears of joy when her parents surprised her with a trip to the Big Apple as a way of celebrating her academic success. Skylar Maxwell, from Jonesboro, Georgia, looks up to older sister, Keyara, 21, who moved to New York to study at Suny Cobleskill State University. Due to Keyara's academic commitments, she and Skylar hadn’t seen each other in person for two years, and so the siblings would make do with chatting over FaceTime. But the digital connection didn't live up to spending time together, and during the two years Skylar would reiterate she’d like to travel to New York one day to see her sister. In February, Keyara received news she was set to graduate university a year early, so her mom, Star, and dad, Tarik, decided to plan a trip. They noticed the date of Keyara's ceremony was a few days after Skylar's own graduation, and so the timing worked out perfectly for a big surprise. Skylar had shown a stellar academic record for the year, Star said, attending a dual language school, scoring high on tests, and being accepted into a gifted program. This provided a perfect reason for the surprise, which Star and Tarik disguised by saying Tarik was heading out of town on business and needed to head to the airport. On May 17, with Skylar expecting to say goodbye to her father at Hartsfield Jackson Airport, she was then given the news of where her dad – and she – were really headed.
