Jumper Girl
Liz Ditz, who maintains I Speak of Dreams where she takes a sensible approach to Learning Disabilities, has a daughter whom she calls “Jumper Girl” (because the daughter sometimes competes in equestrian events). If my calculations are correct, today Jumper Girl has a graduation ceremony. Jumper Girl had and continues to have learning problems, but she got some sensible therapy and has persevered. Now’s she’s arrived at this important marker of achievement.
So, here’s some congratulations for Jumper Girl and her mother. Way to go!
(And, if the ceremony is tomorrow, you can carry them over to then.)
