PHILADELPHIA - Great things are in store for a Germantown teen after he recently got accepted into his first-choice school and went viral after his mom captured his reaction to the exciting news.
Seventeen-year-old Amir Staten is a senior at Germantown Friends School who recently got accepted to Morehouse College in Atlanta.
After opening the email from Morehouse admissions and learning of his acceptance, he ran up his street in the rain, screaming, and jumping for joy."I was like, ‘Let’s go.
I got in. I did it, mom,' and I just embraced her," said Amir. Karlynne captured her son's raw emotion in a 30-second video to share the joy with family and friends on social media.
