Does "they didn't take no for an answer" mean "the parents did not give up"?
And on Saturday, he walked across the stage and received his diploma, a moment nearly three decades in the making. His parents, girlfriend, and Dr. Kakkis all attended.
"It was a surreal moment, because we never thought I would come to that day and walk across a stage and get my diploma," Ryan told CBS News. "It's amazing to see the parents that I have, because the doctors basically said 'Enjoy the time you have with your son.' But they didn't take no for an answer."
Now that he's achieved this dream, Ryan hopes to move on to the next — working as an executive assistant in the MLB or NFL.
