Get Out the Tissues!

Down Syndrome teen is Homecoming Queen

Check out this link at Good Morning Yahoo. http://www.video.aol.com/video-detail/down-syndrome-teen-is-homecoming-queen/3490469585%20-%209%20hours%20ago%20-

In a time of mud-slinging politics, depressing and volatile market news, and negative press all around, this story had me tearing up this morning.

While there may also be Columbine, there is also Alito, Texas. This town is not far from Fort Worth, and while some may give a lot of extra credit to the teens in her school who unanimously elected her, I say, she obviously earned it.

Search it on yahoo and check it out, but make sure that you have a box of tissues handy. In an unforgiving world, there are obviously some incredibly kind and inclusive communities.
