Bishop Samuel Jones Jr. was devastated when one point kept him from walking in his high school graduation. But 47 years later, he finally got his moment.
The North Carolina resident, 66, was unable to attend his graduation from Chocowinity High School in 1976 with the rest of his classmates and teachers because his grade in pre-algebra was a single point too low. Jones was not informed of this and only found out when he went to pick up his cap and gown on the day of graduation, he told USA TODAY.
