On Tuesday Cameron's last day of school ever he was presented with an award. All of the kids and parent's were in the gym for the awards ceremony. It was a nice ceremony and it was wonderful to see all of these teenagers getting awards for honors or athletics. Cameron and another boy were both awarded the Courage to Succeed award.
Willie Cam's Intervenor presented Cameron the award. She spoke about him being Deafblind and how he had overcome so much in his life, she spoke about how happy he was and how much he had learned over the years in school. I was with Cameron and very focused on taking him up to receive his award and then I noticed the audience - they were very silent and listening and understanding what a wonderful unique person Cameron is. I also noticed a lot of tears. People were very touched by this. When Willie said his name and we went up to get the award all of the audience gave him a wonderful standing ovation. I was moved to tears to say the least.
I am so impressed on the wonderful effect Cameron has on people. He has been such a respected member of his school. I am a very proud Mom.
