Micah Fowler not only plays a character on Speechless who has Cerebral Palsy, in real life the 19-year-old also has it. That is why him graduating from high school is a really big and incredible deal.
Yesterday after he accepted his diploma, he posted this message on Instagram:
I finally graduated!! 🎓There was a time where I never thought this day would come and I am so grateful to all the people who helped get me here. Southern Regional School District has been the greatest home for the last 6 years and they’ve been so fantastic to me all along. Also a big thank you to all the teachers I’ve had along the way at the Fredrick A. Priff School and Watertown Elementary! I am truly, deeply grateful. Thank you Southern and everyone there. I will miss you #foreveraram 🐑#classof2017
Proving that when there is a will there is a way, and nothing can stop you. Congratulations to him on his huge accomplishment. Cannot wait to see you back in school in September, as in all new episodes of Speechless.
Fowler is honestly one of my heroes and I am sincerely so proud of him! I just adore that huge smile on his face, one that is so well deserved.
