ever having movement below his shoulders. fast forward to 2014. from his wheelchair, he showed me around the basement of his home and shows me his growing ability to walk again. we followed him to physical therapy where his progress has been astounding. >> i think it was last year that the most has changed. and right now not so much physically improveing but lifestyle. >> he used a wheelchair but as soon as he got a little feeling back in his ligs, he was determined to be on his feet to get his diploma. there was extra planning and a practice run before graduation. >> you want to live in the moment and take it all in but at the same time i don't want to get overwhelmed. >> when we talked before the ceremony parker said the school year was a bit overwhelming with classes and therapy but now he's focused on the future. >> i want to go school i want to

be able to drive myself. once i can drive that will change everything. >> as his parents watched the march with tear-filled joy. >> he did it. he did it. and he did it so well and it looked beautiful. >> they say change has filled every day since parker's injury. >> he kept his head down and took one step at a time every day and here we are. you know? it's a lot of hard work. >> he's amazing. i'm so proud of him. >> it will be three years since parker's accident. parker is 18 now and he will spend the summer focusing on learning to drive a specially outfitted car on the road to more independence. that has been a big thing for him. he wants to drive and go off to college. he will do probably some community college and once he can drive hopefully go off to bigger and better things.

who have had their information compromised and somewhat's especially trouble something that it's very difficult to get answers out of opm at this time scope of the problem. >> what would you like to see opm do? what do you think it should be doing? >> i think opm is going to have to very quickly make a determination of the extent of this breach and let congress know it's pretty clear when they testified in committee today that they had not completed an investigation. i don't know i don't think -- they have got to move much more quickly in terms of getting answers. they failed to alert people what had happened when they discovered the breach. the breach may affect millions more than previously thought.

obviously opm has got to quickly put in place systems to prevent this kind of cyber attack but they also have to immediately move to answer the questions to the scope of the problem and they need to frankly set up a system where they can begin to answer kwis from the public because there's a huge amount of understandable justifiable frustration at people's inability to get answers from opm. >> right. with all of that all of that exposure. congressman chris van hollanden. >> storm chances all but gone but boy was it humid today. >> we get the humid drop and temperature drop. and seeing the nasty storms come through. could so an isolated shower or two.
