Remember how excited you were when you got accepted into college? For Rachel Grace, a 20-year old who has Down Syndrome, that joy has been shared with millions of people. The video of her reacting to her acceptance letter from East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania is absolutely heartwarming and has received over 15 million views since it was uploaded.
The program Grace was accepted into is called Career, Independent Living & Learning Studies (CILLS). It is a non-degree three year certificate program designed for students with intellectual disabilities that teach the students how to get a job and live independently, and it’s very selective, according to NBC News.
In the video, Grace is opening her acceptance letter and reading aloud the first sentence with growing excitement as she realizes she has been accepted. She shouts, “I got in! I got in!” to the delight of her family members. We are so excited for this new collegiette, and we’re sure she is going to go far.
