 Now we're up to our long-distance dedication, and this one is from a girl in El Paso, Texas, who tells a story about overcoming obstacles on the way to a goal. Her letter begins, "'Dear Casey, my sister Debbie was born deaf. She grew up having great difficulty in school. She didn't have many friends, but the ones she had really cared for her. She attended regular school until eighth grade, but because she couldn't hear, she couldn't understand the teachers.'
