A University of North Texas Dallas graduate who overcame hardship wants to continue on a path to help others like him.

"You've been walking for like 20 years of your life, and all of a sudden, you have to learn how to do it again," Berkowitz said.

Berkowitz worked hard to be able to get around campus on his prosthetic legs without having to use a walker. "He's very dedicated to his work, his studies, and he has a desire to give back," said Muhammed Yousufuddin, UNT Dallas Assistant Professor of Chemistry."Those are the kinds of students we want to graduate."

"I had this positivity inside of me, I just needed to tap into it in the right ways," Berkowitz said."I would say it's to help people in the future. I know that there's people out there who need my help." After graduation, Berkowitz plans to intern at the prosthetic lab where he got his legs, then apply to occupational therapy school so he can help others like him.
