Social media is a great platform to connect and know more about things which are unheard or unseen to many.

A cute video that won hearts of Internet users
Five-year-old Micah looks just as thrilled as his family members in the TikTok video that was shared by his mother Haley McGuire who happens to be a photographer.
Micah is asked to say his name in the video and in no time the boy repeats it. His family members standing around him cheer and applaud for young Micah who is equally shocked, surprised and excited.
Micah’s video have already crossed over 10 million views. Though it was shared on TikTok, the video has been made available in YouTube for Indian users since TikTok is banned in India.
The family even started a Facebook page called ‘Micha’s family’ to document the boy’s milestones.
Haley McGuire told NewzWeek, “I’m just really emotional. I’m really proud of him. I don’t think I have an accurate word to describe how I’m feeling other than really–maybe I’m speechless”.
Amidst tough times that the year 2020 has given, videos like these definitely raise hope.
