A fifth grader who uses a wheelchair knew she wouldn't be able to get on stage for her graduation because she could already see at the ceremony at her school, Link Elementary in Houston, they hadn't made access for her.
She didn't expect that they would forget her altogether, not even calling out her name while she sat there in her wheelchair watching her friends go up on stage one-by-one. Trinecia Blacklock was upset, as you can see from the heartbreaking photo at the link. (sorry, I can't post it right now).
Her mom's just mad. The school's said it is 'reviewing graduation procedures' - which is a grudging apology for breaking a young girl's heart if I ever heard one, in my opinion.
