Mykale Baker announced he is heading to college this fall to pursue a career in automotive technology

The young guy who hopped in to help his coworkers at the Burger King in Georgia, during a late-night rush while still wearing his high school graduation stole and medals has decided on his next step.

The 18-year-old Mills Creek High School graduate aspires to become an auto mechanic, with the hope of opening his shop one day.

The school, based in Lawrenceville, Ga., is located just miles away from where Baker took the internet by storm when he helped out his fellow workers on his big night on May 21.

Spurred by the heartwarming responses from her viewers – and Baker’s selfless act – Mendoza created a GoFundMe to raise some extra cash for the teen’s college career.

The fundraiser has since raised $231,600, a whopping 386 percent increase from the initial $60,000 goal.

“Some of the money is going to go into fixing my car and the rest is going into a trust fund for school purposes only,” Baker told Today in early June.
