Jessie




This is Jessie. She is one of Jimmy's best friends. They have gone to school together since early elementary. Jimmy just adores her! Jessie has been a very good friend to him. She has been there with Jimmy at the Special Olympics, field trips, dances, proms, various activities, and on the weekends. Now, that Jessie is in college, she doesn't get to spend time with Jimmy as often. But when she comes home, she always makes time to call Jimmy and pick him up to go to the movies, out to eat, over to her house to hang out, go swimming.... Jessie is studying to be a Special Education teacher. She recently had a project where she had to create a children's book. She called me and said that she was making it for Caleb. When she gave it to him, I opened it up and saw that she had dedicated the book to Jimmy, her inspiration. How that touched my heart! I think Jessie will make an awesome Special Education teacher not only for her dedication and hard work, but because she has compassion for individuals with special needs. She has definitely been a shining star in Jimmy's life.
