A Burger King employee just made records after he went from walking the line to working it.
A freshly graduated Georgia high schooler collected his diploma and got back to work slinging burgers at Burger King. This is just hours after the ceremony took place, inspiring a local mother to raise thousands for his college education.
Mykale Baker picked up his shift at the Dacula, Georgia, eatery where he worked after seeing the late-night rush on May 21.
The 18-year-old had graduated from Mills Creek High School hours before and was still wearing his graduation attire. This caught many people’s attention, including Maria Mendoza, who recorded a TikTok of the hard worker who tried to hustle and delay his well-earned summer vacation.
Mendoza started a post on GoFundMe that really caught people’s hearts and attention. She spoke about how he just received his diploma but was still proudly wearing his medals and reported to duty, making sure he was not late for his job.
The young man’s determination really won hearts, and people continued to donate and donate, and the 20-second clip of him got nearly three million views.
