Two scholarly brothers get accepted into their dream schools in heartwarming videos
It's every student's dream to apply and get accepted into their dream college or university.
Although it may take a long road to get there with the dreaded SATs, admissions essays, and interviews, there's no better feeling than reading an email or physical letter stating: "Congratulations, you're accepted!"
And for two young academic scholars, those three words just may have changed their lives.

16-year-old Louisianan genius and future CEO of Google (maybe), Ayrton Little posted a video on Twitter Tuesday, surrounded by his loved ones, witnessing his the first step into greatness - being accepted to his dream school, Harvard University.
In the video, you can feel the suspense growing as Little patiently waits for an answer. But with just a few clicks on his laptop's touchpad, suddenly, anticipation turned into joy and excitement with Little jumping up from his chair screaming and embraced with hugs, tugs, handshakes, and cheers.
The tweet soon went viral with over 5 million views and thousands of praises from Twitter users including, Ryan Wyatt, the head of Gaming at YouTube.

According to WBUR News, filming the students reading their acceptance letters in Ayrton's high school is the norm and a "ritual for seniors."
"Friends and family were there, but the majority of it was my school," Little told WBUR. "We're a really small school. There's only 16 in our graduating class, and me and my brother are two of those 16."
The Little family definitely has a lot to celebrate this year. Little's older brother, Alex, was also accepted into a prestigious university. Alex, who was accepted into Stanford University last Friday, was captured on video embraced with love from his peers and teachers.

"Those goals we set for each other kind of caused us to become real competitive and push each other to do the best we can," Alex told WBUR.
Their motivation for all their hard-work has been dedicated to their loving and patient mother and the devastating loss of their 13-year-old brother.
The young men, excuse me, college men, both want eventually to venture into nonprofits to help other students achieve their wildest dreams with the help of a solid education and accessible resources.
With such an amazing emotional support behind them, there's no telling what the Little men will do.
Congratulations!
