Every year when I sat down with one of my favorite students to get ready for her IEP meeting, we had nearly the same conversation…
Me: So Katie, what do you want to do when you graduate.
Katie: I want to deliver babies.
Me: That means being a doctor. You would have to go to college for a long time to do that.
Katie: That’s okay. I like school.
Me. Katie, you can’t read and don’t like to write. It may be hard to get into medical school and graduate.
Katie: I guess so.
Me: Is there another job might like?
Katie: Yes! I want to deliver babies!
Me: *Sigh*
