Heat Star Dwyane Wade Surprises South Florida Graduates

DAVIE, Fla. (CBSMiami/AP) — Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade surprised a group of South Florida graduates thanks to the work of one of the students on social media.

Wade took a selfie with Western High School senior Negeen Fallahzedeh during the ceremony and posted it to Instagram on Thursday night.

Fallahzedeh first invited Wade to the graduation last summer using the hashtag #WadetoWestern. The Miami Heat player hugged the teen on stage during the ceremony at Nova Southeastern University in Davie.

Wade wrote on Instagram that “dreams do come true.”

The appearance set off a flurry of social media posts from Western graduates.
