 She invited him to prom, but she didn't expect what would happen next. Daniel Rivas is like most kids his age. A 17-year-old teenager in the middle of his junior year of high school, he has the same thoughts, dreams and ambitions as any other young man his age. Born and raised close to the glamorous Las Vegas, Daniel had spent the vast majority of his life in the Silver State of Nevada. As Daniel was close to wrapping up the last years of his high school career, his sights were set on life after graduation. However, Daniel was in for one last surprise that he never saw coming. Although Daniel is like most 17-year-olds, there is in fact one trait that distinguishes Daniel from many others. Daniel has Down syndrome and was afflicted by the condition all throughout his life. Nevertheless, those who know Daniel describe him without hesitation as an extremely kind, warming and caring individual. Perhaps these are the traits that best characterize Daniel. A young man with his sights set on attending college and aspirations to become a chef one day. It seemed like nothing could come in his way, but an unexpected series of events transpired. As mentioned earlier, Daniel was 17-years-old, meaning that he was in the senior year of his high school at Shadow Ridge High School. Of course, given that it was his senior year, meant that the big prom was just around the corner. Prom night is one of the most memorable nights of any high school student's life, and preparations for the big night were already underway. This signaled that those planning on attending would have to quell the butterflies in their stomach to find a date soon, and Daniel was no exception. However, Daniel was not expecting what would happen next. See what happened. It takes guts to ask someone else to be your date to prom, but Daniel was up for the challenge. However, wherever and whomever he asked, Daniel ended up with the same answer. No. Even after faced with countless rejections, Daniel had the courage and tenacity to keep putting himself out on the line and try again. It seemed that no matter the girl in question, the end result was inevitable. It even got to the point that it began to worry Daniel's mother as she hated seeing Daniel being turned down so many times. Unknown to his mother, the biggest surprise for Daniel was right around the corner. Gossiping in high school are basically synonymous terms, and the news that Daniel Rivas had asked so many girls to prom and had been rejected so many times had spread across campus. Fortunately, the buzz had reached 10th grader Kylie Fronius, who was moved by what had happened and wanted to take it into her own hands to make things right. Not only did Kylie want to become Daniel's date to prom, but she wanted to make sure it happened in the most memorable way possible. Keep watching to see how she made it happen. When Kylie decided that she would be Daniel's date to prom, she was a woman on a mission. Not only did she want to take it upon herself to go and ask Daniel, but she wanted to make sure that the proposal itself was unforgettable. With the help of her friends, Kylie made an elaborate poster asking Daniel to be her date and decorated these surrounds with an assortment of colorful balloons. Then as Daniel was walking out of class, Kylie jumped out from behind and surprised Daniel with the question to which she eagerly responded, yes. Kylie then gave him a hug, but the surprises weren't over yet. Now that Daniel finally had a date, it was time for him to get ready for the big day. His mother, Tonya Rivas, gladly dragged him along from store to store, making sure that Daniel had the perfect outfit for the special occasion. That being said, Kylie was no exception either. She had to pick out a dress that would match Daniel's tuxedo, get her hair done and figure out her makeup and accessories. The days leading up to the dance sped by in a blur, and before they both knew it, the day was here. Given that prom night is such a special night, it's customary practice to take pictures on the special occasion. Kylie and Daniel had planned to do so, and Kylie showed up at Daniel's door right on time. As Daniel opened the door, he greeted her with a smile that stretched from ear to ear and embraced Kylie with a hug. The two then proceeded to parade around the house, decked in their best clothing and stopped to pose for pictures while their parents snapped away. At the moment, they were making memories that would last a lifetime. For Daniel's mother, Tonya Rivas, she was overcome with emotion throughout the entire process. As a mother, she had seen Daniel struggle to fit in socially and was constantly worrying about his well-being. So see someone else so kind, caring and supportive towards Daniel, Tonya was overcome with emotion and began cheering up at the thought. As for Kylie's parents, they were extremely proud of the thought, care and maturity that Kylie had exhibited. Even though it wasn't their prom night, it was a night that both sets of parents wouldn't forget. For Daniel and Kylie, the only surprise they knew took place when Kylie asked Daniel to be her date. However, the night was still young and more surprises were yet to come. The word of Kylie's kind gesture had spread and even reached the local KVVU news station. They then decided Daniel and Kylie were making their way to the prom venue, a fancy jet-black Rolls-Royce pulled up alongside them and the driver gestured for them to get in. Their jaws dropped but surprises were just beginning. The KVVU news station in the Las Vegas area has a smaller subgroup called the Surprise Squad and it was this specific group that was behind orchestrating the surprises of the entire night. Some kids rent out a limo to transport themselves to prom but the Surprise Squad had something even better in mind. A luxurious Rolls-Royce phantom acted as Daniel and Kylie's chariot, transporting the guests in style. Before the duo was to arrive to prom, the first stop was a fancy dinner before dancing the night away. Now that the pre-prom photo shoot had concluded, the next item on the agenda was a pre-prom dinner at Bistro 67 inside the Allianti Casino. As the next few hours would be spent dancing and moving around, it was in their best interest to fuel themselves up with a filling meal. And with a group of their friends, Daniel and Kylie were treated to the fanciest dinner that either of them had experienced up to that point and the two of them chatted away while filling themselves up with delicious food. During Daniel and Kylie's escapades, the two of them were simultaneously being filmed as part of a TV segment to be aired later that week. Kylie was to be recognized for gracious deeds and Daniel's special day was to be documented and shared with the rest of the community. If their day could get any better, this was it. Being followed around all day by a camera crew and being treated like a movie star, it was a prom that even Kylie couldn't have imagined or expected to materialize in her wildest of dreams. After a day filled with incredible surprises, there was still even more to come. The crazy part of the entire day was that at this point, prom hadn't even taken place yet. The surprise squad had one final surprise for Kylie and Daniel and all expenses paid trip to Disneyland for the two of them and their families. As if the shock of an all expenses paid trip wasn't enough, the owner of a local Nissan dealership presented Daniel with a $10,000 scholarship to attend the college of his dreams and Kylie with a brand new Nissan Centra. After the shock of the entire day had worn off, it was finally time to make it to prom. It was now time for the special night that Daniel had been eagerly dreaming of and waiting for. They both made their way inside the venue hall which was packed with all their classmates and their respective dates. The speakers were blaring with upbeat pop music and it was everything that Daniel and Kylie could ask for. It was incredible to see how far Daniel had come from being rejected constantly to experiencing one of the most incredible days of his entire life. Every prom there is always a memorable prom couple for a wide variety of reasons. However, at Shadow Ridge High School's prom, Daniel and Kylie were that couple and Kylie was the bell of the ball. Wherever they danced to and whomever they talked to, they were greeted with nothing but smiles, happiness and support. It was the prom night that Daniel had always dreamed of and thanks to Kylie's pure heart, not only had the two of them created incredible memories for themselves but also for everyone around them. Daniel and Kylie's day can be characterized by one word, compassion, specifically compassion from Kylie's end. Kylie told New Station, I don't think of kids that have a disability. I don't think of them as being different. I think of them as being normal people, just learning in a different way. This fact is clearly exemplified through the fact that once Kylie heard of Daniel's rejections, she didn't even hesitate or think twice about making Daniel feel better. All the surprises she received that day were very well deserved. It was because of Kylie's kindness that Daniel's mother, Tanya Rivas, was so moved that she broke out in tears. Tanya recalled, someone took the time to take my son to prom. I'm just touched. My heart is happy. Furthermore, she goes on to state that it's that Kylie didn't see any disability. That's what your heart wants as a mom. Kylie was able to express love and compassion in the purest form possible and the influence she had on an entire family goes to show the impact that one person can have and how being caring and empathetic will always pay off. This trait of kindness, especially in the context of proms, is evident elsewhere. One prominent example is through Tim Tebow's philanthropy pursuits. Tim Tebow began his athletic career in football, serving as the quarterback for the Florida Gators and the Denver Broncos and transitioning to baseball. Simultaneously, Tim Tebow was able to establish the Tim Tebow Foundation for philanthropic purposes. At its inception, the foundation was endowed with $4 million, which was put to good use. With the $4 million, one of the first initiatives that the foundation established was the Night to Shine program. The program organizes a special prom night specifically for teenagers with disabilities, allowing them to forget about the burdens they face on a regular basis and let loose and enjoy themselves. Since it was established, the Night to Shine initiative has expanded globally, reaching almost 375 cities across the globe, and putting a smile on almost 75,000 teenagers. Once again, this goes to prove that one person's impact can be exponential.
