We all have in our minds how things will be and honestly, things rarely turn out how we envision they will. I have learned over time to roll with the punches and make the best out of our circumstances. Being parents didn't turn out like I planned. Helping Angie with her high school online experience did not turn out like I planned and she never really had a graduation with Covid. Ingrid left home in March so although we tried, her graduation was also not the huge celebration we would have wanted. She went to graduation and left again with a friend. She came to my parents for a short time to see us, open presents, and take pictures, then she was off again. The most important thing is she graduated from both Desert Edge and West-MEC. Coming from Colombia at age 8, knowing no English, and having the challenges she has both mentally and academically, we are very proud of her!
