Nick’s proud father also shared a series of photos, captioning the post: “I guess this is happening,” Al captioned his post. “Taking the last one to college. So proud of one @nickroker155.”
Nick’s journey to college has been a long road, but one filled with faith as the Roker’s son bloomed through his church work.
Movieguide® recently reported on Nick’s first Sunday morning Sermon:
NBC meteorologist Al Roker recently celebrated his son, Nick, after the 19-year-old preached a sermon at St. James Church.
“I wanted to share just a small part of our son, Nick’s, sermon today at church,” Roker wrote in a caption of a video posted to his Instagram. “I could not be prouder of who he is and what he has accomplished.
“His parents are proud and I know his grandparents are looking down and are even prouder,” Roker added.
The video clip featured a section of Nick’s sermon where he expressed his thankfulness for learning and success, despite his learning disability.
“Today, I am 19 years old and about to graduate high school,” Nick shared. “I have a learning disability, and I have worked extra hard to get to this point. This last semester, I earned all A’s on my report card.
“It feels really good, but my accomplishments haven’t all been about school. They have also been about perseverance here at St. James,” he added. “I have always felt loved and supported here. I am happy and feel accomplished after each service…I feel empowered here and welcome. I am accepted here for who I am.”
