Video Shows Moment Zuckerberg Got Into Harvard

While at Harvard, Mark Zuckerberg created what would become the world's most popular social network. But before that, he was just an excited kid getting his acceptance letter. In a #tbt Facebook post, Zuckerberg—who will give the commencement speech and receive an honorary degree at Harvard next week, per Business Insider—shared a home video of himself learning he'd been accepted to the school, which he eventually left to develop Facebook.

"Yay, I got accepted," he says quietly before giving a fist pump. His dad, who is shooting the video, has a much more exuberant response. At the time, "my mom bet me I'd drop out and my younger sister bet me she'd finish college before me. I bet them I'd get a degree," Zuckerberg writes. "Now I suppose the cycle is complete."
