KNX1070 just interviewed the student with brain cancer in Obama's speech tomorrow!!
"I'm thinking about Andoni Schultz, from Los Altos, California, who's fought brain cancer since he was three. He's endured all sorts of treatments and surgeries, one of which affected his memory, so it took him much longer - hundreds of extra hours - to do his schoolwork. But he never fell behind, and he's headed to college this fall."

Andoni Schultz was interviewed by KNX1070, our local news radio station. What a great kid! The surgery on his brain affected his memory, so he has to work harder remembering things by using songs and mnemonics. Interesting interview.

1. When I see stories like that I am reminded again to be thankful for having it as good as I have.
Our family has faced challenges, but nothing anywhere near the same league as that kid. How inspiring.
