The 129^th commencement ceremony at Morehouse College, Sunday, will see father son duo- Dorian Joyner, Sr. and Dorian Joyner, Jr., being awarded graduation degrees together.

Joyner Senior attended Morehouse in 1984, but couldn't complete it. Three years ago, he made a decision to come back to the college and finish his degree.

When Joyner Junior heard about his father's admission at Morehouse, he was shocked and surprised and was at a loss for words.

"oh, you're coming back to visit some of your friends?'" Joyner Jr., said.

 "No, I'm coming back to be a student,' Joyner, Sr., said.

"Can you repeat that?" Young Joyner asked

During growing up years, most teenagers prefer to be left alone by their parents. Unlike his peers, Joyner Junior was not disturbed and irritated by his father's presence in the campus.

Joyner, Sr., said that both of them had different groups of friends and schedules, so, they hardly ever had time to meet each other.

"We used to have a support system. Sometimes he would come to my room to ask about a problem or a class or a professor to take," Joyner Jr., said. 

Now that they have completed the degree, the father-son duo has developed a unique bond that goes beyond their personal relationship.

"We're Morehouse brothers," the two said proudly.

Joyner, Sr., wishes to pursue a law degree to eventually become a judge, while his son has applied for the Peace Corps and later hopes to attend a film school.

President Barack Obama is set to deliver the commencement address at the all-male, historically black university. 

"President Obama's life story trumpets an ethic that we try to instill in all Morehouse men, namely excellence without apology or compromise," President John Silvanus Wilson Jr. said.

Apart from Joyner, Sr., Wayne King at 66 enrolled in Union College to complete his education after serving in the army for 20 years.
