DAVIE, Fla. – Students at Western High will have an amazing graduation story to tell.
Thursday night, Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade tweeted a selfie at Western's graduation held at Nova Southeastern University.
Wade wrote, "Dreams do come true. #WadetoWestern was a hashtag that this young lady Negeen started last July to get me to come to her graduation... and BOOM we just did that. #Wade'sWorldFoundation #AllergicToNo."
Faculty members say Negeen Fallahzadeh also wrote Wade letters requesting he speak at the ceremony. She thought the Heat star had sent in a video with a message, until he walked out on stage.
"I saw the whole front row -- their hands were just over their mouth and then the whole stage just stood up," Fallahzadeh said.
"The reason I'm here is all about persistence," Wade told the crowd. "It's all about never giving up, it's about believing in yourself and believing in your dreams."
Wade has done similar random acts of kindness in the past, such as attending high school proms.
The Heat star will be joining ABC's coverage of the NBA Finals for Games 2 and 3.
