Posting today instead of yesterday
because I was a little busy.
Last night I had the honor of being
invited AND attending the high
school graduation of a former
student!
This young man has Autism and
when he was in my class he kept us
on our toes. :) He loved fire hydrants
and could tell you where they were
located around the city, he went
through a Richard Scarry faze and he
could access a computer like nobody's
business.
Fast forward to yesterday, through hard
work, family and school support he
was able to graduate. I am soooo proud
of him!
Going to graduation reminded me why
I do my job, some days I wonder if I
still have the stuff it takes and last night
validated that I DO HAVE THE STUFF!!
What a wonderful event.
~Keep on Dreaming~
I attended graduation last night for my last batch of kids. I was so proud of them and all their accomplishments in getting to last night's activity. Enjoy your weekend, Melinda!

DeleteIt is not an easy job for sure but when events like this happen
it is all worth the ups and downs.

I can only imagine what it must have felt like at the graduation. How rewarding it must be for you to be able to see a student's progress after all those years. Enjoy the week, Melinda.
ReplyDeleteIt is always fun to see how they start and end.
DeleteI am fortunate to still be in contact with this family and was
very touched to be personally invited by the young grad.
