so what's your excuse?

So I went to a social work awards ceremony this evening. This event was showcasing a group of professionals who have dedicated work towards education and improving social transgression within the state. Much of the areas of interest are in street children, child with learning disabilities and also physically challenged children. I really wish I would have taken a brochure or something because I don’t remember the name of the school. The program was in English but I still have a hard time fully comprehending what most say…… Anyway, the ceremony began with a young female doing a traditional dance, she was all dressed up the part and did a phenomenal job. The room was packed, there had to have been at least one hundred to one hundred twenty five people there. The dance lasted about five minutes but the moment the giant red curtains opened and the spot light shined on her I started crying and was emotional the entire performance. It was just her alone, I was so impressed, I was crying because her parents must be so proud of their little girl. She’s about thirteen with down syndrome and has already traveled all around India spreading the joy of what she loves, dancing.
