Paralyzed shooting victim walks at graduation with robotic exoskeleton.

Khalil Watson, a shooting victim who was paralyzed from the neck down seven years ago, received an associate's degree in pre-social work from Reynolds Community College in Richmond, Virginia. With the help of a robotic exoskeleton, he was able to walk across the stage to collect his diploma, receiving a standing ovation from the crowd. Watson plans to continue his education to earn bachelor's and master's degrees in social work, using his own experiences to connect with and understand others who have similar situations. Despite his circumstances, Watson remains determined and self-driven, offering words of wisdom to others: "Anything is possible. Keep going."
