At an achievers assembly, a young student headed to the floor instead of the stage in an epic fall. However, the video of the moment went viral not because of the fall itself, but because of the incredible maturity of her peers!

 

Randburg, South Africa (08 December 2023) — If you’ve ever been through school, you know that something like falling in front of everyone during assembly (let alone an award ceremony) is the worry of sleepless nights. But, not unlike Jennifer Lawrence at the 2013 Oscars, a young school girl dealt with it like a champion, and more impressively, so did her peers in their maturity.

In a video posted by the student Kayleigh’s mother, the youngster gets up to receive her award. However, due to a dead leg, she headed to the floor instead of the stage.

What captured people on TikTok and sent the video into viral spheres of over a million views was not necessarily the fall, but the response of the students surrounding her.

@laurenivey87 Show her some love guys. Only my child will epically bail at achievers assembly today 🫣😂#fail #fall #epicfail #primaryschool #assembly #showsomelove #achievers #embarressing #fyp @Tyla #fypシ @Beyoncé @947joburg @Kfm 94.5 ♬ original sound – LaurenIvey87

Not so much as a chuckle was evident, as all the students maturely carried on and didn’t make the youngster feel embarrassed at all.

As many of the commenters noted, this never would’ve been the case during their schooling days; which garnered great respect for both the students and Cliffview Primary School as a whole.

“The maturity of these kids need to be studied, my mind would fail me,” commented one user while another added “I watched this like 10 times and I’m still tryna understand how she fell and NO ONE laughed.”

“Only my child will epically bail at [an] achievers assembly,” shared her mom who added that the one who laughed the most was Kayleigh herself, upon coming home and her mom thereafter who commended her child as a rockstar.

TikTok has deemed that there is hope for the future generation, whose emotional maturity is commendable!
