Its a publicity stunt for a brand... he needed some quick money, most likely.
Sometimes i wish that HF gives us a ''dont like'' post option

Did he take a late stick penalty on his way across the stage?
Wait are you actually all in denial that Bégin is promoting ChallengeU ?
That is seriously impressive.
I remember entering Cegep and wanted to pass my High shool Chemistry class at home (I failed).
After my Baccalaureat, I wanted to do partial time a Master @ school while working. (I failed)
I failed with lack of motivation.
My wife returned to school with 2 young kids at home. I'm really impressed by her.

It's really not...it's ****ing high school
Most people get through high school without even studying, a bit of extra effort and you'll get on the honour roll. Unless he had a mental condition, he did the bare minimum and got the most basic school diploma you could get. If this was some random guy, no one would care...but because it's Begin, people like you are probably secretly ready to throw a parade.
Theres no negatives in the story, people just got offended that the story might not be as "feel good" as people think it is.I don't think so. It's just more than a little cynical though to think he only did it for money.
He may have got the diploma and publicized it for noble ideals and found a way to make a few bucks at the same time. That's a win win.
Easy to poke fun at Begin, but he deserves a lot of credit for spotlighting his own failings and placing value on education.
fun fact, i had way more difficulty in high school than during my BAC. High school can be more challenging for certain people but University easier.

The guy is clearly getting some kind of money for it, he's a spokesperson for them and does seminars.
But you know what? Its a good thing, the guy is getting paid, Ill never blame someone for going after money...
But, get offended for that comment, be my guess.
Not you particularly.To be clear, I wasn't offended. I could see it wasn't necessarily black and white.
Not you particularly.
It's my case. Not proud of it tho.Most people get through high school without even studying,
Life is short always finish what you set out to do. Good for the Guy! Small or not Paid? So what it could be embarrassing to some? Like Coach Jacques Demers never learned to read.
