Graduating is a special honor to be celebrated by anyone, but when you have been faced with challenges throughout life, there's even more reason to jump up and down for getting your diploma. Carlos Neria might have Down syndrome, but that didn't stop him from bouncing across the stage when his name was called at his high school graduation.

As soon as his name was called, Carlos jumped up and danced across to reach the principal and the teachers who were on the stage so that he could receive his diploma. Carlos is known as Mr. Joyous in his high school because he approaches everything with happiness and a smile.

He often brightens the days of other students even though he is enduring the disease that has made life a challenge.

Carlos' parents wanted him to be treated like other children. They wanted him to go to high school and receive an education as anyone would. His mother has seven other children, and she has always tried to treat Carlos like one of them instead of focusing on his Down syndrome.

One of the things that has taken Carlos throughout his life is his faith. He has always tried to see each day as a blessing, happy to be alive so that he can try to make a difference for someone else instead of seeking pity from others.

Watch Carlos as he jumps in pure joy while making his way across the stage. Don't forget to spread the smile to your family and friends!
