Jean Paul Al Arab experienced an unconventional graduation ceremony at the University at Buffalo as he sprinted across the stage with his six-month-old son, Mtanos, after a dispute about carrying him while accepting his diploma. Originally informed it was acceptable to bring his baby, Al Arab's pride as a new father turned into a moment of chaos when a staff member attempted to intervene. The heartwarming, albeit frantic, scene captured attention on social media, showcasing a father's determination and joy during this significant life milestone.
"During the prep class for the ceremony last semester, they told me that it was fine to walk with the baby... I was just a proud dad".
"I was just a proud dad. After months as Mtanos' primary caretaker... I felt I had a duty to see it through."
