I just want to say how proud of my brother I am!!! He is very low-functioning with autism. However, in his classes in high school he has averaged a 3.87 GPA! He really is a very intelligent young man. A very caring one as well! Anytime I am having a rough day, he constantly checks on me, has plenty of hugs and kisses, and I love you's for me.

On Tuesday, May 14 I will get to see my brother be the first to walk across the stage and receive his diploma with the rest of his class. He also gets to dance one of the dances he has been workin so hard on for months at Baccalaureate on Monday! He is excited about the dance. When he saw our parents at school pickin up his cap and gown he was with his para. He said to my parents, "Let's get this over with." I'm not sure if it's because Mom and Dad were at school or if it was because he saw his bright red cap and gown and had the realization that he could not wear his Fedora.

He will be participatin in Job One after graduation and will continue to bring smiles and lots of love. I love him so much. I knew he could do it and he has! I am so proud of him!!!!
