Timothy Harrison went to work at the Waffle House on the day of his high school graduation because he and his family didn t have a ride to the venue, which was an hour away and his mother, who works at a daycare center, couldn t get the day off, anyway.
“I didn’t have a ride, I didn’t have tickets, and it was a plan that I couldn’t put together all the way,” Harrison said.
So, he opted to go to the Waffle House instead, in the hope that he would still be able to work his usual shift. He explained to his co-workers why he was skipping out on the ceremony.
