Brad Cooley, a Douglas County High School senior, has become a darling of many for his wonderful gesture of kindness. His selfless action has taken the netizens by storm. The homecoming yankees off the crown. But Why?
The Crowned Prince
The boy was crowned homecoming king and Meghan Bailey was crowned homecoming queen. And then, what happened next astonished everyone.
Bypassing the Honor
Brad Cooley’s crowning glory survived only a small period of time. Brad felt that he did not deserve the honor.
He did something extraordinary and at first, it created a huge furore in his family. He passed his honour to somebody else.
He joyously handed the prestigious title to Meghan’s date and even explained why he thought he was not a deserving candidate for such an honor.
“I felt someone who deserved to be crowned should be given the title”, Brad explained with a good grace.
So Sweet
The selfless act of passing the title was received with thundering applause all around. Meghan’s mother failed to control her tears. Her voice was clearly trembling when only a few words managed to escape her lips. “I felt like crying”, she said in a whispering voice.
It was unbelievable that someone could be so selfless in this age. It was a sweet moment for all. Everyone praised Brad.
The Joy of Becoming Homecoming Crown
The title was passed to Ian Brennan. The boy with Down’s syndrome was Meghan’s date. He was super excited after receiving the crown.
Meghan is a cerebral palsy patient and could not speak out her mind. However, it was evident from her face how ecstatic she felt. Did she reciprocate the gesture?
Her expression said it all. She was definitely over the moon about the things that happened in front of her.
She and Ian have been best friends for years. They got the once-in-a-while chance to perform the homecoming dance together. How long had he been king?
Excitement All Around
Brad was crowned merely 24 hours ago. However, deep in his mind, he was determined to do it. Two months ago, Ian lost his mother. The homecoming king removed his crown.
The way things turned was unexpected for Ian, Meghan, their families and other guests. The family was shocked at first but felt happy after getting to know why Brad did it. In fact, they extended full support to Brad.
“Homecoming King, my cousin Ian. I’ve watched so many videos and read a ton of stories of kind-hearted high school kids handing over their crowns or things of the sort,” Ian left a heartfelt note.
The news went viral in a short time. Everyone was talking about Brad for his selfless act. Brad feels blessed after receiving so much love from his family, friends and netizens. We wish him Best of Luck for his future.
