Mark Zuckerberg released video on May 18 of the moment when he was learned he had been accepted into Harvard University, where he would later develop and found Facebook.
Zuckerberg said he released the video ahead of his return to Harvard to receive his honorary degree. In the footage, he is seen in his bedroom opening an email from Harvard while dressed in his pyjamas.
“Yay, I got accepted,” a teenage Zuckerberg says softly, before his father Edward Zuckerberg begins cheering.
In the comments section, he provided some insight into the video.
“Before I went to college, my mom bet me I’d drop out and my younger sister bet me she’d finish college before me. I bet them I’d get a degree. Now I suppose the cycle is complete,” he said.
