McDonald's employee celebrated after graduation

This video brought all the feels and we are 'lovin' it!'...

Monday's are the perfect days for 'appreciation' and gratitude.
One story that got our attention proves that sometimes finding people who will celebrate you doesn't always follow a particular pattern.
In a world where people are increasingly triggered in traffic and road rage is on the rise and where disputes with neighbours over rubbish disposal can escalate to police involvement, it's comforting to know there are still positive stories to look forward to.
A story that got people celebrating online shows a young McDonald's employee who completed his studies and graduated. The video shows Siya visiting his co-workers after his graduation ceremony at the McDonald's where he has been working since 2019.
As Siya walks through the doors dressed in his full graduation attire, his excited co-workers rush to embrace him and celebrate his achievement.
Each of his co-workers are genuinely proud of him and share their pride by singing, dancing and honouring him with a hug and a handshake. Finding people who truly celebrate you and your accomplishments is rare. Yet, Siya managed to get everyone at his workplace to stop what they're doing and celebrate him.
Graduating from your studies is a major milestone that deserves all the bells and whistles. While many students transition from school to tertiary education, not all manage to adapt, some drop out and fail to graduate.
Seeing how Siya could work at McDonald's and still study toward his diploma is inspiring. It is a testament to his determination and ambition.
