I asked Ethan's principal to write something for me regarding how she feels about Ethan and what his impact is on the other students and staff.
Alert, Alert...*TISSUE WARNING*!!!
What Ethan Means To Me...
Ethan means joy, plain and simple. That little guy brings so much happiness to every member of our school community. We have watched him learn to say "hi" and "goodbye", we have watched him learn to walk unassisted- complete with a hug and a kiss on the end of the walk :-) --, we have watched him learn to share, and we have loved him every step of the way.
Ethan brings such a great perspective to our daily lives. He is absolutely the most popular young man in our school! Our students love him for who he is. They have learned about his struggles and assist him in such a caring and loving way. They do not see him as "different", they see him as "theirs". They embrace him and help him learn..and all the while he is helping them learn...he helps us all learn about mutual respect, persistence, consistency, patience, kindness, and genuine happiness. We are better because we know Ethan.
