With graduation days being celebrated all over the country, a student who has to use a wheelchair honored

his mother on his graduation day in a special way. Easley High School graduate, Alex Mays surprised people

present when he got up and walked across the stage at Clemson's Littlejohn Coliseum.

“I was really happy—it made me feel good,” Alex said.

Alex was not given a chance to live right from his birth. He was born at 25 weeks and weighed just 1 pound,

10 ounces at birth. When he was very young, he had a disease and lost the ability to walk. After his mother's

death in 2013, Alex had several other difficult life changes until he came to live with his grandparents, Dousay and

her husband, Dewayne. Dousay said that when Alex came to live with them, they decided to bring him up in the

best possible way they could.

Last fall, Alex said that he would walk across the stage to get his diploma to honor his late mother. He

practiced hard and worked with a physical therapist for 9 months to complete his plan.

The only help Alex got was from his mom's best friend, Tonya Johnson, who pushed his wheelchair to the

stage wearing one of his mother's favorite shirts. “I had support from my family. I couldn't have done it without

them,” Alex said.

“Alex made everyone in the building feel encouraged that day” Pickens County School District public

information specialist John Eby said. “The school teachers knew he was going to get up to get his diploma, but the

distance he walked was a surprise, even to them,” Eby said.

“Some of life's most important tests aren’t given in a classroom; Alex tested himself and passed with flying

color1 s,” Eby added.
