Brayden Harrington: ‘Some People Really Need Some Help With What’s Going On’ ★

NBC News:

Brayden Harrington, the teen who shared his story on the final night of the Democratic National Convention about how Joe Biden helped him with his stutter, told NBC News Friday it has boosted his confidence and is pushing him to help other kids like him.

“It will change my future,” Harrington, 13, told Nightly News’ Lester Holt in an appearance that will air Friday night. “And I have this thought going around my head that I kind of want to be a therapist when I grow up to help other children in need and other people in need. And that just really is heartwarming to me because some people really need some help with what’s going on.”

If this kid’s courage, his story, his attitude, and his determination don’t hit you right there, you’re not hooked up right.

Hope.
