Story out of Mesa, Arizona:
The sign outside Dobson High School reminded everyone that graduation was just hours away. At the east end of the grounds, rows of chairs have been neatly set for the class of 2016. Enough seats except for one, the one for class president, Stephen Dwyer, 18.
A couple of days ago, Dwyer posted a thorough, passionate timeline of events of his battle with leukemia, enduring a bone marrow transplant and then finding the strength to make it back on campus for his senior year. He wrote: "I lost a lot of high school memories and now I'm losing the final one."
Unfortunately, as his recovery progressed, the clock on his senior year ran out and he came up two and a half credits short to graduate with his class. His appeal to the Mesa Public Schools district board to allow him to simply walk across the stage with his class was denied. Among classmates, the news was met with bitter disappointment. Cont.
