Grad Gives Emotional Speech About Homeless Boy He Used To Know - Who Turns Out To Be Him

A high school grad left classmates and parents fighting back tears after sharing the story of a homeless boy who refused to give up on his future – before revealing the boy he was talking about was himself. Aizlee Beecham, 17, [pron: EYES-LEE] stood on stage during Whitney High School's graduation ceremony in Rocklin, California, and began telling the audience about a child he used to know, who’d experienced homelessness, struggled through school and faced an uncertain future. As the speech about the child progressed, the audience had no idea every story he shared was his own.
