Nathan VandeGuchte, a special education teacher with Zeeland West, added that inclusive sports has made a significant impact on students at Zeeland schools since the zLinks program started. “It was so moving to see Hoogland hit that shot again in front of 2,500 people,” said Nathan. “The lens (视角) with which many of our special education students are viewed has now been forever changed.

Not long after, the piano teacher was given the task to organize a piano concert in the town. She sent out leaflets to invite the students and public to attend the event. Suddenly, she received a call from Kenneth who offered to take part in the concert. The teacher told him that he was not good enough and that he was no longer a student since he had stopped coming for lessons. Kenneth begged her to give him a chance and promised that he would not let her down.
Finally, she gave in and she put him to play last, hoping that he would change his mind at the last minute.

Finally, it was Kenneths turn to play. Into the crowd’s sight came a puny lad, whose heart was pounding with nervousness. For some time, he stayed there, trying to catch his breath.

Actually, his performance was the best. A scream of cheers burst out at the end of his presentation.
After the performance, the piano teacher asked Kenneth how he managed to play so brilliantly. With thrilling tears, Kenneth let out the secret. Having to look after his mother, he had to drop out of the lessons. Every day he spared no effort to practice on the paper keyboard he drew. “I’m not talented, but I don’t want to disappoint my mum,” Kenneth added. “It is diligence that makes up for my deficiency.” As the teacher watched into Kenneth’s eyes, she saw a hero glistening with the sparkling concert lights.
