- Walking across the stage at graduation was more than just a personal accomplishment for Cody Sullivan as he became the first student with Down syndrome to complete four years of college in Oregon. His mom, Ann Donaca-Sullivan, says while he and his friends were graduating from high school, he would ask, "Where am I going to college?" Sullivan received his certificate of achievement last month. InsideEdition.com's Keleigh Nealon ( / keleighnealon ) has more. #InsideEdition
Im glad his classmates respects him and treats him right. None like the others.

Great to see, congrats to him.

:D hope your lil guy goes far, I wish the best for him also, he's gonna make you proud parent....you'll see : D ♡♥♡
Thank you so much. I couldn't be more proud to be his mom
I'm so proud of him, and I'm proud to be an Oregonian. I'm sad I never heard of this happening!
DAMN.

#MayGodBlessYouCody
GamePlaysWithCJ I’ve seen u every where
I work with individuals with developmental disabilities and I wish so much that many of our individuals had been given a chance to achieve such high marks. Congratulations Cody!
this is so touching and inspiring
anyone else glitching out at 1:22
toxickittens Yep
toxickittens yea i think it’s the video
toxickittens yup
Ya
toxickittens Yep
a certificate of achievement is not a bachelors degree, dont hate on me, but everyone here is misunderstanding this, im not demeaning the guys achievements, but it is what it is, this doesn't mean they completed university even though i'd love for that to be true
Congrats you did it bro
Congrats 🎉🎉🎉
Who could dislike this like who?
This is absolutely amazing!
this is so amazing and inspiring. congratulations
So proud of you sweetheart!!!!!! Now go out into the world and continue to make us all proud!!! Congrats to all classes of 2018!!!!!! Wishing you all luck and success as you move forward!!!!
I think this is great! I’m not understanding how it’s possible! Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy for him and his family. I graduated with a four year degree and it wasn’t easy. The ACT alone is hard to get a great score. Were his classes, test, papers, research, internship the same as everyone else.
Cody, congratulations from everyone of us in N.Y.C 🗽💞 we love you 🤗☺️
Oregon is proud of you Cody!
Glad to see there is still people like this out there
Well Done Corky! Loved you in life Goes on
Dorky for president! Can't be any worse than the current potato.

This is so awe inspiring
This comment section is the better side of youtube
Cody, so awesome, you’re going to go far buddy
This just proves even some one with disability's can go to college just like a normal student can.
Cool to see this, inspires me
Congratulations Cody!
Congrats, Cody ♥️!!!
❤️ this. Made my day.
They do not give out pity-degrees to the disabled. Anybody has to work very hard to obtain a college degree. He earned it.
Very cool and good for Cody
Way to go Cody 👐👐👍🏼🎉🎈🏅♥️♥️♥️
Congratulations
I got chills
Congratulations!!
Great job Cody
This is awesome! 😎
Congrats Cody, even I haven't graduate yet.
In Oregon you have to be able to put underwear on on the inside of your cloths and not the outside. Your shoes go on before your pants. And then remember that you have to know how to tie BOTH of your shoes and not just one.
That's so cool

That's awesome.
So, does this speak volumes about Cody's abilities as a young man with Down Syndrome, a disease that typically manifests with I.Q.'s around 50, or does it sum up the value of an education from Concordia, or almost any modern university in America? Granted, a "Certificate Of Achievement" is not formal recognition of successful completion of a degree program, but one needs to question the integrity of an institute of higher learning that promotes "participation ribbons" on commencement day. Has anyone given any thought as to the impact that this will have on Cody, should he actually have some expectations from this show.
Its funny to me that the video was supposed to be about this kid..but they only let him say 2 words!!
Im not mad or complaining- it was just a really weird editing choice imo.
I thought the same thing.
Congrats Cody 😁 🎈
Congrats Cody 👏
Is Concordia in MN??
Well done to him
Congrats to him :)
Wow good job
Very good
I love to see you that
Congulations 🧑🏻🎓🥂🎓🎉
People make fun of disabled people well look at this boy. Congrats for him and his friends supporting him all the way through. It goes to show kindness will pay off
Those shirts though😭😂
Gooooooo Cody!!!
he flexin
He actually only said one single word in the whole interview. It was "teacher".
“Nice.” - Michael Rosen.
❤️❤️❤️❤️ With love: positivity; and desire anything is possible!!
I want an update.
hell yeahthis is true acomplishment
Why this hasn’t got millions of views? This is like a NASA level accomplishment for the young man.
Those boys and girls also got a great lesson about inclusion, in how to get along and work with challenges that most of us never or will ever face in our lives.
I love ppl with down syndrome there no different from anyone else my opinion there better then reg ppl that's why their special there the most fun funniest kindest caring ppl in the world 👍 up for not giving up Cody
Happy for him but I wish you gave him a chance to say something
Congratulations 🎊😁
He is so cute
Not many people can say they made history.
1:55 i see you and im about to come
CONGRATS☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️😊😊😃😃😃😃😊
Who the hell dislikes this
WOW I'm a regular person I drop out.
I have Down syndrome and to me, I don’t see hope in the future for myself
How does a person with DS graduate with a bachelors degree? Down syndrome means learning disability, and usually even the brightest ones, cannot do algebra trig, advanced lit, chemistry and so fourth
@@esoterico6062 Plus the leftie Democrats seem to think and promote the whole "everyone’s a winner" when the ugly reality is, no, not everyone is a winner, not everyone is competent and capable enough to graduate college, get a degree and so on. As far as this guy goes, he can’t be a teacher, it’s not realistic, he cannot speak, you have to be able to communicate clearly and articulate dynamically to be an effective teacher !
How sad for kids who live in their moms basement smoking pot and playing video games not finishing college. Meanwhile look what this kid can do. Plus he has no doubt a better social life.
IKR? I’m sure he thanked the staff in charge of Clemson LIFE for that by perceiving them as anything but oppressive and tyrannical!
2044 Anyone
Cody only talked for 1sec...
Amazing.
Also 6th
He can’t be a teacher if he cannot speak and articulate clearly
Aww
bubbles?
How in the hell can he graduate college when he can’t even talk right
At least he accomplished more than you
I don’t know the details of his degree program, but if they kept the academic standards the same for him as they do for the rest of the students then good for him. He overcame a lot and it’s an amazing achievement. If on the other hand they “modified” his degree program so that he can pass, then that’s pretty disgraceful. Shame on the school for stealing his family’s tuition money in exchange for a degree that means nothing and giving this kid a false sense of accomplishment. I hate to say it, but the latter is probably what happened. Colleges will do anything to keep getting that tuition money. When I was in college, it seemed like half the people I met didn’t belong there. College is freaking scam for the most part these days.
@@arcadiosincero He didn't even got a degree. He got some stupid certificate, literally just a piece of paper with his name on it to feel good. And get media exposure for the college, of course.
he didnt do a degree, yeah, this is all misleading
iv met very intellegent people with speech difficulties so...
I see, he has the girls ;)
Add a boy!!!
Whose face
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The just made him pass because they felt sorry for him
