He'd dreamed of going since he was a little boy.
“I am over the moon. It's been my dream to go to this school since I was young,” Matthew told CBS Boston. “It shocks me how many people have seen my reaction.”
Matthew was born with cerebral palsy, a condition that affects the ability to move and maintain balance/posture. He’s said that since he was seven years old, he had dreamed of attending Harvard University. He admired the Ivy League institution after learning that his doctors, who have cared for him for years at the Boston Children’s Hospital, had gone to Harvard.
“My two doctors are amazing people. And when I found out they were associated with Harvard University, I always looked up to that,” he explained. His sister, who was also seen in the reaction video, is very proud of her brother, sharing, “I saw the confetti pop up on the laptop, and I was like 'oh, my gosh this is really happening. I am so proud of him. I've been with him for 17 years now and watching every step and everything he has done. It's so well deserved.”Matthew plans to major in biology in the fall, and though he’s not sure what direction he will go in just yet, he knows he wants to be a doctor one day.
