A video shared to Facebook shows the moment Howard spots Wimbish holding the cap and gown. Howard was brought to tears by his teacher's kind gesture.
According to WSB-TV in Atlanta, Howard stopped going to classes a semester before graduation. Wimbish refused to let her student's problems get in the way, so she helped him complete the credits he needed to graduate.
Wimbish has also set up a GoFundMe page to help put Howard through college.
