This is what America
use to be and should be after 'trump'!
When I talk
"The good old ways (days)"
this is what it
should be!
Not bigotry, white
supremacist, race, region, sex or anything else,
it should be humans helping and
sharing with humans!
Officer Chris
Linsenbigler
Is an old white police officer.
Mo Gaba is a black
teenager.
Mo Gaba’s school
friends
and
teachers are a melting pot of
‘good People’!
Mo Gaba and Officer
Chris Linsenbigler met in Mo's classroom in Linthicum Heights, Md., earlier
this year. Since then, they have become inseparable best friends.
Mo lost his vision
as an infant during his first battle against cancer.
Since then he has
beaten back cancer two more times.
Through it all, he
has not let the disease get him down.
Now cancer free, and
with Linsenbigler by his side, he can continue to live his childhood out to the
fullest.

BALTIMORE
A blind elementary
school student who's overcome many obstacles in his short life has received a
diploma in Maryland.
Mo Gaba is not just
any fifth grader at George Cromwell Elementary School.
He's had help from
friends, teachers and technology to battle several bouts of cancer, which left
him blind as a baby.
"I can't thank
the teachers enough for what they've been doing,"
he said.
"I just don't
want to leave."
The cancer came back
when he was 6 years old, and it recently reappeared in his bones.
But his spirit and
laugh are infectious.
"I'm the one
that cries all the time,"
Gaba's mother said.
"His spirit
just keeps me going."
Gaba has learned to
read braille, walk with a cane, complete math assignments and maneuver his
great helper, Mo-bot the Robot, which allowed him to virtually attend classes
from the hospital.
Now, he'll take his
infectious laugh to middle school with full confidence from all of his
friends.
