So, Chase's teacher at her high school had her best interests at heart. I am forever grateful for her contribution that she made in the development of Chase. She made sure that Chase went into a "post-graduate" program that would foster independence.

Chase entered this program and she got a job at Subway. These people welcomed her and fostered her in a way that no other could. I am forever grateful to these people for this. They welcomed her in and trained her and offered her a way to make some money, while at the same time taught her that she needed to work to earn a buck. This is not something that I could have taught her. Chase has learned the value of money, when money made no sense to her (and still really doesn't). She just knows that she likes money (like we all do), and she likes to have something to spend. This is a lesson that all parents want to teach their children, and Chase was taught this in a way that we were not able to do. It is a great program, and I am grateful that the school system taught her this. It is now my duty to keep this up and to make her know the value of the mighty buck.
