    Radio, a 19-year-old man with an intellectual disability, finally received his high school diploma after several months of attending the school with help from his peers and Coach Harold Jones. Radio, also known as "Radio" by the community, would roam the streets with a shopping cart changing the stations on an old radio as he was invisible to people around him.
