I have to brag about my student

[kwitcherkicken99]

We just got back from a little meeting, and my student, who is blind, just received a scholarship for $60,000!!! I'm so proud! She's also 3rd in her class and this scholarship will allow her to attend the college she wants to!!!

That is amazing! 60k and being 3rd in her class are very good things to brag about.

What a wonderful thing!

Congratulations! That is soooo wonderful. You must be bursting with pride.

I am bursting. I can't explain how big this is for her. She's come from nothing, still has nothing, is faced with a crazy disABILITY with her eyes not working, and she still shines through everything. Omigosh!!

That is absoluly AWSOME.. CONGRATS to her and you..

This is great news!
Getting a scholarship of any kind is wonderful these days, but such a big one is amazing.

I am going to move it to the disABILITIES community Board where it will be more on topic.

Fair enough Sue! I didn't quite know where to post, I just hope there might be another young adult with a vision impairment (or any other impairment for that matter) that can see that it can be done. They can succeed despite common misconception that a person with a disability is broken and can't do anything (which drives us all nuts). If I could do a backflip, I would... maybe a cartwheel, I think I can still do those.

Tell her congrats and you too for doing such a marvelous job raising her.
