Williams Syndrome: Mila

by Bob Doman

I just received this video from a very proud mother. Her daughter, Mila, is a graduate of NACD and is soon to be a high school graduate with a regular diploma. Roxane keeps me in the loop and lets me know how Mila is progressing. Ten years ago, Roxane wrote an article about Mila, and I thought folks would be inspired to see how she has done. I’m very proud of Mila and her family who has always helped her and who have had faith in her potential and ability to make a contribution. To know Mila is to love Mila. She is one super young lady.
