Watch the original version of Back to School
Thornton and Jason arrived at the university campus a few days before classes were scheduled to begin. Thornton was incredibly excited and apprehensive about the new chapter in his life. Even though he was dressed in the most fashionable designer clothing with a briefcase in one hand and his smart-phone tucked in his pocket, he didn’t feel any less intimidated by the fact that he was about to become a college student.
Jason watched his father from the corner of his eye and felt a mixture of emotions; pride, admiration, and perhaps a little embarrassment. He knew that his father was doing this for him – to prove that anything is possible with enough determination and hard work. It had been difficult for Jason to accept the idea of his father attending school with him, but he had to admit that he was also kind of excited to have his dad by his side.
When they reached the main campus building, Thornton put on a show of bravado, introducing himself to the administrators as “the new professor of business”. Jason couldn’t help but crack a smile, but he was also a little worried that some of the other students might look down on them for being an unusual pair.
Little did he know that as the weeks passed, Thornton would become the most popular professor in the university, and he and his father together would soon be the talk of the campus. With Thornton’s experience and business acumen, he quickly earned the respect of his students, and his lessons soon became the most sought-after classes on campus.
It wasn’t all academic, however. As the weeks passed, Thornton and Jason both began to engage in various activities – they joined the basketball team, Thornton began dating the attractive librarian, and they even went out to the movies a few times.
The real surprise came when they eventually discovered a mutual passion for comedy. It turns out that Thornton was actually a very talented stand-up comedian, and he and Jason developed a hilarious act that quickly earned them acclaim on the college circuit.
So by the end of their first semester together, Thornton and Jason had achieved success in their studies, sports and romance. They had made a lot of friends on campus and had an unforgettable experience. Little did they know that this would only be the beginning of their college journey.
The course of Thornton and Jason’s college life was unpredictable, but each year the father and son duo found their way. They navigated their classes and relationships with ease, and often made the most of their college experiences with the support of each other.
Throughout their time together, Thornton and Jason studied hard, breaking for fun and laughter as often as possible. When graduation finally arrived, Thornton and Jason weren’t just any old alumni from their university – they were legends.
They were remembered for their intelligence and wit, their stand-up comedy routine, and their presence on the basketball court. But most of all, they were remembered for their bond and the unique connection they had formed while attending college together.
Thornton and Jason had accomplished something that many others could only dream of – they had graduated from college as father and son. It was a bonding experience that neither of them would ever forget, and something that would be remembered for the rest of their lives.
