An eighteen-year-old student named Mykale Baker moved social media this week in Georgia, United States, by showing up to work his shift at Burger King just hours after his high school graduation. 

The young man decided to put on his uniform without taking off his gown or cap to help his coworkers during the dinner rush.

A customer at the restaurant captured the scene in a video that surpassed four million views. “He didn’t do it to get attention”, users commented after starting an online fundraiser that collected two hundred thousand dollars for his trade studies, in addition to a ten-thousand-dollar scholarship the company gave him for his enormous sense of responsibility.
