Excerpt
The Legendary Graduation:
You are probably wondering why my graduation was legendary. Well, I will explain; when I was
little a nurse told my dad that I wouldn't ever make it through school, she said it would be a living
nightmare. It was a living nightmare, but I proved that nurse wrong when I actually did graduate!
I didn't want to graduate at the school, so my friend, the Hon. Philip Patton held a graduation
ceremony for me, and he had a medal made for me, which the Sheriff Chris Eaton presented to
me.
I also wanted my little sister Wendy to come, who is autistic, and can't handle big crowds. I'm just
glad she got to come!
That is how my graduation was so legendary. On the back of my medal it reads: "To Joseph from
those who believed you could", so that's where the dedication "From Joseph: To those who
believed I could" came from. The middle part of the medal spins around, which I can do a spin-a-
roo with!
Thank you so much for reading this book! May this book bring you ever-lasting joy!
~Joseph D. Smith, The Legendary Graduate.
