"I think it's great what you are doing for the school, honey." Mom smiled, as she drove me from the private plane area of DFW to my former school. "My staff and I are very excited about your surprise perform-ance for the high school studentsthis morn-ing!""I am too!" I smiled and piped. From kinder-garten-eighth grade, I attended the Gregory School, a k-12 school for students with learning dis-abilities. A couple of years before I had enrolled, Mom had become the head princi-pal. You would think that having your Mom as your principal would be hard on me. Well, you couldn't be more wrong! Having Mom there was awe-some, because I always knew that she was in close proxim-ity to me!Taking a deep breath, I asked, "Mom-my, my sister, best friends, and good friends don't know about my perform-ance, corr-ect?""Corr-ect, sweet sweet." Mom smiled, taking my hand in hers. "That is very correct."
