Emily had been dreaming of feeling like a princess for a long time, but she probably never imagined that her friend would do something like this in front of the entire school.
Trinity Arrington had been chosen as the prom queen at her high school in Sadler, Texas, and had the crown that many students hope to receive one day. But when the moment came, she decided that she wanted to share it with someone else.
Her friend Emily Petty, who has Down syndrome, had also been nominated and dreamed of experiencing that moment. So Trinity walked over, took off the crown, and placed it on her.
The gesture surprised everyone and ended up becoming one of the most emotional moments of the celebration. Emily received the crown amid applause and was able to experience, even if only for a few minutes, what she had wanted so badly.
Trinity could have kept the title of prom queen, but she preferred to use it to make her friend feel like a princess.
