Noah Vucsics got into trouble for jumping over garbage cans in the halls of Calgary's James Fowler High School when he was in Grade 12.
"I'm kind of an unusual guy with an intellectual disability who loves the stage, loves public speaking, loves drama. So Grade 11, I worked hard to do a monologue and memorize my lines, like all the other regular students, and I got to be a lost boy in a Peter Pan production. "One of my classmates said to me 'I don't feel I really deserve to walk the stage because we're not doing the regular work with the regular students.' He felt like he didn't want to graduate," Vucsis said.
"He just really feels that for one thing, people with disabilities are not given the opportunity to develop into who they can be." "It's such a complicated thing," Vucsics said."They want to make sure everything is consistent and that no one is trying to cheat.
