In 2022, the world has learned time and again not to judge a book by its cover. And often we come across examples of human beings who show us that the sky is the limit!
Dylan Kuehl is a 38-year-old man from Olympia, Washington. He had one goal in life; to graduate from college. However, unlike most people, the road to this goal was not easy for Dylan. This is because Dylan was born with Down syndromeDown syndrome is a genetic condition where a child is born with an extra chromosome which can cause developmental delays and intellectual disabilities in a child.
So the road for Dylan to graduate from college was much tougher than what other people have to go through. But he was determined and put in the hard work. Today he is a graduate of The Evergreen State College!
When he was applying to college, he heard a lot of discouragement from those around him but he did not let that deter him. He simply surrounded himself with people who supported and encouraged him. He made sure to mention those people in this speech at graduation. Dylan was the three in 900 students selected to speak at graduation.
Dylan has a lot of activities he enjoys particularly painting and dancing. And now Dylan has a Bachelor of Arts in writing.
