    oh, I'm not the same age as your mom ;) but you're on both of my Facebook accounts so you probably know (that was a self centered remark!)

    my mom acts like EV is 80 or something and he should be at the golf course and not in public :)
    at least EV had fun in the sun while earning his wrinkles.

    yeah that's the only thing about Ed. he should/should've used more sunblock.

    I believe you are one hundred percent right on, on your point!! Self-centered ?!!? Hardly!!! Most people are intimidated by a disabled person's confidence; for some stupid reason, they think you should live in fearsome shadows to those of full ability, which is total Bullshit!! I loved your speech, and found it very inspiring! As one with a very minor disability, I agree, because I fought very hard from fourth grade to sixth to be put in a class with my age peers versus Special Ed. In the end, I graduated school two years early, and went on to college as early as well, and graduated with esteemed honors on my General Ed, then went on to a specialized school to study my life's passion: Training horses!!

    I hardly find celebrating one's accomplishments self-centered!! Very fine speech indeed!! Bravo..
    Ok, now.. I've got a ten hour drive to prepare fo,r later on tonight,I to go retrieve my Kitty and other belongings!! Have a great day!!

    wow WH that was amazing!
    thank you for your kind words.

    see you can attest to it too. fighting to stay in Reg Ed. I'm glad you did because from what i hear they don't teach anything in Sp Ed. just give them busywork and babysit them. Sp Ed is a service not a place. kids should try all types of resources to stay in Reg Ed.

    i go horseback riding every week. i love it!
