Student With Down Syndrome Accepted To College

Noah Van Vooren's dream came true!

"A YouTube video captures the teen's reaction as he read the letter, 'It says Dear Noah, yes, you made it. I got accepted!' Noah shouted with his arms stretched in the air.

The acceptance letter means Noah will start classes at Edgewood College in Madison, Wisc. this fall. It's part of the school's Cutting Edge program, which offers a college education to students with developmental disabilities."

What a wonderful program!

I saw that on a TV show yesterday. It was so touching -- he also thanked his parents and told his dad how much he loved him. Good for him!! He's adorable!

It's such a great idea, I don't know why someone didn't think of it before. Just look at the joy it brought Noah, and his family, no doubt Smile

I'm sure plenty have thought about it, but finally, someone was able to make it work. Kuddos to him/her/them. Wonderful chance for some wonderful kids.
