The Ribbon Cutting

I am over the moon about the ribbon cutting. I not only was stunned by the number of people who came, but I also was beyond thrilled by the reactions outsiders had seeing us spelling. I genuinely believe that those people who had never seen spelling before will never look at a nonspeaker the same way again. I heard conversations by people I didn’t know about this. 

I am like floating on air, because I heard the mayor of Mount Kisco say to someone that he will never see one of us as cognitively impaired again. I am totally starting to believe that we can truly change the way the world sees us. Letting people talk to us and watch us spell completely alters their perspective. I am so hopeful now.
