August 29, 2024

For years, Ray Petelin has cherished a special tradition with his daughter: interviewing her on camera every first day of school.

This year, as she steps into her senior year, Ray completed the final interview in this heartwarming series.

In each video, Ray asks his daughter what she wants to be when she grows up and always ends by telling her he loves her. The compilation of these interviews, which Ray shared on TikTok, has struck an emotional chord with viewers, bringing many to tears.

The video captures the journey of a little girl growing into a young woman, with her dad’s unwavering love and pride evident in every clip.
