I got to volunteer at Holyn's school yesterday and get a small peek into her world. She was really excited to have me there, and told everyone in her class I was coming. Holyn loves to be with her friends and learn. As we walked together into the front school entrance, Holyn was beaming ear to ear.
After the normal routine, putting away book bags and announcements, the class took their seats. They broke into small groups and I helped Holyn's group stamp their names on paper and then make words out of play dough. Holyn's teacher pulled me aside to tell me Holyn has an amazing vocabulary and knows how to use it (actually she said she was impressive). Another teacher told me Holyn helped one of her classmates feel more comfortable about school by walking her to class (on a day she was really struggling with being there). As the teacher said this, we both looked over to see Holyn helping the same friend tie her shoes. Needless to say I had to fight back a couple tears.
Holyn, Dad and I couldn't be more proud of you. Keep up the great work.
