High School Senior Opens Duke Decision Letter At Her Mother's Gravesite

This will make you emotional!

Skylar Hughes, a high school senior in Georgia worked two jobs, completed an internship, competed in dance all hoping to be accepted into her top choice college, Duke University. On Hughes last day of seventh grade, her mother passed away and she knew when she opened the acceptance email from Duke, she wanted to do it at the graveside of her late mother.

She stated "I knew that since my mother had missed a lot of things with me in my childhood, growing up, and since this was mobile, I could take my computer to open the email anywhere, I knew I wanted to do it with her.I thought whether I get accepted or denied, I wanted to share this moment with her because I knew it would be filled with emotion."

When she received the email, she took it to her mother's gravesite and learned she had been accepted to Duke's University's Class of 2025!
