William was home for spring break, and he mentioned to Penny that he hadn’t actually seen where she goes to school. She gave us both a tour of her college campus.

It reminded me again of how grateful I am that programs exist that allow students with intellectual disabilities to keep learning and growing after high school.

It also reminded me that each of us has limitations and possibilities. So often, we only see each other in terms of one or the other: limitations or possibilities. The Emerging Pathways Program at Post University, and others like it, offers a way forward for Penny that honors her full humanity, and we are so grateful for it.
