If I were to compare Zack's life to a book, I would choose 'The Little Engine that Could'. For him school has been an uphill struggle right from the get-go. He over came a severe speech impediment, he dealt with bullies and an apathetic school that had not yet taken a stand against bullies. He battled ADD and depression. And when we were almost sure that he would not make it, he stepped up to the plate and dug his heels in. Zachary did not graduate with honors, at least not with scholastic and academic honors. But there is much honor in his graduation and all that he has accomplished in what has been the biggest hurdle in his young life. He has proven time and time again that even when faced with almost certain failure, it is still possible to succeed.
Congratulations Zachary. I am soooo proud of you!

Thank you for sharing his inspiring story. My little guy has social issues...the kids are merciless with him, and he struggles in school. It's so encouraging to hear how these kids find what they need to succeed.
Congratulations Zachary!! You should be very, VERY proud.
It was the same with my youngest,he also had add and lots of summer school.
Congratulations, Zachary, and mom, too! You all have so much to proud of. What a testament that the biggest lessons we learn in school are not academic!

Way to go Zack! Dawn
thenx for the compliment. you know, your one of the few women on the board who actually looks like a woman. your kids even came out somewhat decent. It's shame they'll grow up to you like a haggart like you, tho.
Way to Go! You've finally did it ! Take pride in all your accomplishments. Congrats to your mom too! I'll bet she's just so proud of you. I'll be having my "day in the sun" on June 2nd! I can't wait. Being a single mom, and holding a full time job, I know that it isn't easy. But nothing in life comes easy. But it's definitely worh it. Enjoy your future and keep up the good work!
Kudos to Zack! What a great show of character for a young kid.
