One proud father screams and jumps for joy after his son was accepted to his dream school in New York. In this viral video, you can see Craig Allen Cooper and his son, Joshua Cooper, celebrate with pure excitement as they learn about the huge accomplishment. What a special moment between this father and son.
“There aren’t words, there’s deep emotion,” said Craig. “And I think it gets expressed in moments like that and then just in tears when I go, 'Man, he did it.” So yeah, I’m really, really proud of my boy and I’m excited to see, you know, what happens in his life. He pursued his dreams.”
Joshua Cooper was accepted early decision into New York University's Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music. This was his dream program, which he had set his sights on since visiting the campus at age 14. He also received a major scholarship to help cover the cost of his tuition.
“My passion is [music] production. I love that. I also write songs, and I sing them,” Joshua shared. “But my main focus is on producing for other artists.”
A Father's Unwavering Support Makes His Son's Dream Even Sweeter
Before seeing his acceptance to NYU, Joshua knew he wanted to share that experience with his family.
“I was working at the time that it came out. So I decided to just lock my phone in my car, and I didn’t even pull it out of my glove box driving home, because I wanted to find out with my family,” shared Joshua.
It is such a wonderful moment to see shared between these two – a dad jumping up and down, screaming with excitement, and his son smiling from ear to ear before breaking down in happy tears.
“He pursued his dreams and, you know, he’s going after it,” said Craig. “And I think that’s something, that’s a message, you know, for the world and an example for the world, you know, go after it. You’re going to fall down a bunch, you know, but he keeps getting right back up and pursuing it. And I am so excited and happy for him.”
