Mike's 16th Brings a Turn in the Driver's Seat

One of our students, Mike, turned 16 last week. On Sunday he got to participate in a time-honored tradition of taking the wheel with dad in an empty parking lot. Mike has previously taken command of the the golf cart, but this was a whole new experience. Not just any car--it was his late grandfather’s classic Corvette. As you can see in this video taken by mom, he is thoroughly enjoying himself and we hope this becomes a tradition for Mike. It is unlikely that Mike will ever be able to get a driver’s license, but as long as there are empty parking lots on Sunday afternoons, who cares?
