Hi, my name is Suzanne (36) and I am the sister to Julie (21). My dear sister just graduated in June, our mother and entire family thought it would be so horrible for her, she loves schools. She walked across that stage with the other 219 students and tears flowed down everyones face, she waved and said"my sister is out there" I couldn't have been prouder of her. As she walked back up the row she spotted me and ran to me and then cried. I don't think she knew exactly what the next day would bring. She now goes to a sheltered workshop, she doesn't really interact with the other workers just the staff. She loves 'work' and won't miss a day. I feel sad when I stop and see her during her lunch break, however she is very happy there. She still does her 'homework' and loves to play school. I have a 6 and 8 year old and she is right at their level. My mother use to drive her regular ed bus and she rode along, now she rides the public bus to work and back. It is a door to door service. Please feel free to e-mail me. this is my first time on this site and happened upon your post.
Suzanne
