Officer from Harvard University replays 15-year-old snapshot with student who attends university now
In a heartwarming turn of events, a Harvard University officer named Charles Marren has reconnected with one of his youngest students, Crystal Wang, after 15 long years.
The story began when Crystal's father, during a business trip to Boston, stumbled upon an old photograph from 2004. In the picture, a young Crystal is smiling brightly while seated on Officer Marren's motorcycle, both of them beaming with joy. Recognising Officer Marren from a recent social media post, Crystal's father suggested that they try to find out if he was still working for the university.
Fast forward to move-in day this year, and the unexpected happened. Officer Marren, still employed by Harvard, was on duty when he spotted Crystal Wang. Recognising her instantly, he approached her, and the two shared a memorable reunion.
Wang, now a student at Harvard, felt a strong connection during their meeting. However, she couldn't recall her first encounter with Officer Marren in 2004. The reunion, she told CNN, was more than just a photo opportunity.
The heartwarming moment was shared on social media, garnering over 53,000 likes. Some social media users were taken aback by the striking similarity between the two photos of Officer Marren, with many commending him for seemingly reversing the aging process.
One commenter, in particular, praised Officer Marren for his enduring youthfulness, stating, "He's defying the laws of time!"
Despite extensive searches, the person who works for Harvard University, where Crystal Wang was hired in 2021 and first contacted 15 years earlier, was not explicitly named in the search results. None of the results mentioned Crystal Wang or a direct connection to a specific individual linked to her at Harvard University.
Officer Marren, still wearing a uniform similar to the one he wore in 2004, continues to serve the Harvard community, making a positive impact on students like Crystal Wang. His dedication and commitment to his role are evident, as he continues to make a difference in the lives of those he encounters.
