Earlier this week, Drake – the adored international hip hop star – became a legend to hundreds of Florida high school and college students… especially for Destiny James.

James is a first-generation junior college student from a low-income family who is studying biology at the University of Miami, according to The Miami Hurricane. When James was applying for scholarships last year, she wrote an essay about her life and the tribulations that she has had to overcome in order to succeed.

Little did she know that her essay had made it into the hands of Drake.

Drake visited the University of Miami on Monday to shoot a music video for his new single “God’s Plan”. Hundreds of students crowded onto the campus to get a glimpse of the superstar. Some even went so far as to climb onto the roof of the food court for a good view.

In addition to partying it up with the students, Drake also wanted to reward James for her essay and surprise her with a massive $50,000 tuition check.
