game but usually the tale of a poet and the apathy that whatever but so i thought maybe your name's there felt in order to make that match and flights to paris' if the camera grant anyone empowered to slow that vladimir a selling case there's it's fair and then you know their earnings today how are they in effect and in his private life but that's what i thought that and that's what became the empty due to do it basically france has a big barricade to establish and maintain an awareness of one of this thing in space and if opinion far about the gathering that's right and then they do now and then a day and
a statewide ad during her away get here to their discerning or something in the house i don't no it's the move things we take for granted are very very important to them and that's why i feel the basic challenges they have as individuals is too they have a certain paranoia to stay with the solid to choose their parent that your people or in sensitive to their situation and they do this on a daily basis here i think that's what causes a lot of people not or leave the security of their environment benito county is in a half a dozen years later than they are going to blame the star of the prime buildings still apply to us that employers are going to employ an hour are my guns are and where they're located to abstain five adults to prepare the fabric of our lives and of our and then fell in order to practice being now i actually honestly say said you have it with i can't sleep
without accurate if they have the wife i fell and now and when have you had nightline and they're in without being a lot of my life attracting his piano is one man conference championships in a row and this is the thing that we dealt with one of music alive says the plan doesn't say then there's a hand lens as opposed to the taliban but there's some that some of the state's biggest legal as is one
of it does this is it atlanta or thing and checking out and eighty p three years directing or it yourself rather than a private thing the dick that we haven't had an outdoor re they hadn't felt like the payoff that they can figure out when you hear it it's
been a year since we are a small school in a residential scale bankers have a jackpot for a lesser era and why two years now we're we go to wrestling matches we get all their sporting updates and all of those things because the parents are sometimes so we really just ordinary day david i thank the heaven every office to office paper were a lot of mothering deep into those kind of details applauding when they do a young person that can't in killing fearfulness margaret howe owl that it is at the complaints that i carried a half billion and a bit or the girl and we have a half hands loses to make sure we
are supposed to ignite if i fly list now all of the sign of both his lovers and how that affected automated the sale these people fall or moving all the way that they can someday this is a fake and selig anointed so i can i can make it our job they can revive our family and all of that they've they give something back to the public you have to learn how to communicate with those people and they have special needs in some cases and you learn what those needs are and you know how to deal with where's my main street and sidewalk something's primarily what would be concerned with with sight impaired and the suvs saved their travels through the vampire narrative medical facilities restaurants shop in that's so their parents and a group of people in seoul might not get out and walk and so we can do
to help them to their destination they thought that the marble falls off but where it actually has a voice to tell when it involves the street and we've got three of these installment and when losses of installing three more of location and they are very worried south beach and it's audible book of automatic were the noise increases the intersection of bottlenose a owns papers so it's a very very efficient remain other guys that were going on and we have a grab for themselves for
in the sidewalk where and that's raising ways of the vestron paulson described in the war they can think and then they raised about work of play for a range of the surface so i can actually feel that is a wall street in a sense they did as a typical population within one exception we have more people are who are incapacitated either by the loss of sight lots of years a day or clients can here which is unusual for helen keller script so we have a higher percentage of people with empty cans and they come here to learn how to overcome those and cats and go onto awards live and do well and appropriate ages we start teaching kids how to shop out of two bank books mom and dad to reinforce that when they're at home we serve all the statement so for parents with children being here residential
setting that makes it easier for most parents from central locations or sweet we send children home of a very regularly every three weekends or so and many breaks during the year so that separation is not as much as some people think it's going to be if you draw a circle around the city are probably three hundred mile radius and look inside of that circle you'll find more people inside of that circle you will anywhere else and southeastern united states we created competition national competition for outdoor sculptures that first collection of sculpture in the country maybe the world that was great purposefully made an audience of deaf people are blindly the television earth wind and fire has to do with diverse elements and the children working with the two artists to collaborate
on the private project help create what they thought were symbolic of the the elements that form the earth's neal stephenson city with seashells and fire with flames and we'll find other things that relate to women and the symbolism that's used to make that connection were created by the kids themselves working with the artist and then they made most of materials that are placed an embedded into the walls sculptures with that the sculptures of each campus were all created the same way in some cases there is dishes with its senior class fiscal incline there's a stone with a school model placed around the sculptures that when you're still in the process of being created and i think that the bond that says they never ever that that that they can't get out and the government there is the same story
