8 What was her "medical diagnosis"?
Melody was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. When Melody was 5 years old and it was time for her to enter school, the expert doctor told her mother she would never be able to do anything: dress or feed herself, talk, walk, ...anything. What did her mother do? Enrolled her in regular school like all of the other children. ©2015GregSmith
