Subject: [blindkid] Graduation

Well, my little girl will be walking across the stage accepting her high school diploma this evening. It really seems like yesterday that she was learning to walk and talk. As with most parents on this list serv, we have had a long hard battle within the education system. Oh, but my-oh-my, how sweet it is now! Our daughter will walk across the stage as a proud young blind woman (cane in hand) wearing her cords for participation in National Honor Society, Spanish Honor Society, and Top Ten Percent of her class! I think my heart will surely beat out of my chest. 
I know that sometimes, as parents, we tire of all the hassles and fights for equal opportunities. I would just like to tell you all....Hang in there! You will also reap your rewards one day and it will all be worth every tear you've shed. 
I would like to offer my congratulations to all other seniors who will also be fulfilling their own dreams! WOOHOO! Class 2010!
Sincerely,
Kim Cunningham
