*Continued from first post at the part my family was so surprise* unbeknownst to me my former classmates showed up too (class of 05 this was the year I was supposed to graduate) and as I was walking I heard them screamed It was an amazing feeling and wanted to cry.
have CP too and In 2006 I walked for my diploma in high school. The feeling I had felt was amazing. My family was so surprise and wasn’t expecting all of this. They have always seen me in my wheelchair and one of my cousin she would walk me around. I felt my family deserved to see me walk for the first time and this was my gift for them and say thank you for everything for being there from day one. and Will if you read this We have succeeded our dreams!!!
