A high school student in St Louis, Missouri, gave his family a Christmas to remember when he subtly revealed he was accepted to university by giving his mother and aunt T-shirts.

Lutheran High School North student Barrington Lincoln revealed he was accepted into Moorehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia, by giving his mother and his aunt T-shirts from the college. Unbeknownst to the pair, Lincoln had been accepted to Moorehouse on December 15.

At first, Lincoln’s mother and aunt didn’t realize that the T-shirts meant he would attend Moorehouse College, and couldn’t contain their surprise when he finally made the big reveal.

A clip shared to Lincoln’s Twitter on December 25 had earned over 3,500 views at the time of writing. Credit: Twitter/MVO_323 via Storyful
