I wrote earlier about the dedication and commitment of Jason's mom to his growth and education. When the school district found out Jason was legally blind and new resources would be needed, they strongly suggested that we send Jason, our only child, to the Austin School for the Blind. They did not realize that you do not separate a club form his momma for you will be in for a fight. Mom knew Jason had the right to an education in the school district and was determined that it happen. Jason and her hit some bumps in the road but just stayed on course and in May of 1988, Jason was the first blind student to go all 12 years in T.I.S.D. He graduated in the top 15% of his class of 550. Together, Jason and mom completed the educational foundation which would serve him well in college. One of Jason's classmate lends an arm to help him accept his diploma.
