Thanks to Ohio’s College Credit Plus program, the soon-to-be 18-year-old, who as a sophomore earned his associate’s degree from Tri-C, recently graduated magna cum laude with a bachelor’s degree from Cleveland State University.
LAKEWOOD, Ohio -- Lakewood High School senior William Yeung has pulled off the amazing feat of officially graduating from college before receiving his high school diploma.
After officially graduating from Cleveland State University May 14, William will do the same from Lakewood High School on Friday . What makes William’s achievements even more impressive is the fact that he accomplished so much while struggling with visual processing disorder, audio processing disorder and dysgraphia.
While most of his classes were online, he did this past year have to physically attend health and physical education classes at Lakewood High School.Not only did he not initially pass his English entrance exam at Tri-C due to not receiving accommodations for his disabilities, but it turned out that graduating from Cleveland State University without a high school diploma required special attention from an administration standpoint.
“I faced enough hurdles, and I know that a lot of other places are probably going to be about the same level or maybe less equipped.” “He’s never hesitated to divert some of his time and energy to supporting individuals and causes he felt needed him throughout this whole process. He’s growing to be the kind of adult -- degreed or not -- that I feel the world really needs more of.”
