It’s easy to send a text message to the wrong number, and one recent college graduate did just that—but in return received an uplifting response.
Coastal Carolina University graduate Justin Campbell (@YoungGus10), tweeted Saturday “Accidentally sent these pics to the wrong number yesterday. The response was legit tho. Really made me smile.”

Campbell, 23, sent the photos to Roger Hawkins, a real estate agent in Columbia, S.C., and received an unexpected response.

Campbell said he received Hawkins’ response during the graduation ceremony and was surprised to see the picture.
“Me and the two guys next to me were laughing that’s when I responded ‘my guy,’” Campbell added.
The tweet has had over 32,000 shares and 93,000 likes as of Tuesday morning.

I had a hard time in school, didn't finish. No one took the time to encourage me to do better. It took a lot of years/work to get right!

“When [Hawkins] texted back with ‘the skies the limit’ and the link I was like ‘wow this is awesome,’” Campbell said.
Campbell said he thinks the two will continue to stay in touch.
