At my eighth grade graduation it was a kid in a wheelchair's turn to go across the stage. We were not supposed to applaud until the end, we were in the middle of the alphabet. When he got his diploma the entire eighth grade class (about 240 kids) , along with everyone's families (almost 1000 people), gave this kid a standing ovation. People didn't even clap at the end as hard as they did for him. I can honestly say that that was the most inpirational thing i have ever witnessed.
