Angeline Lavasseur didn't want to break the time-honored tradition of graduates walking to get their diplomas at graduation. The 18-year-old girl, who has been confined to a wheelchair throughout her childhood after being born with spina bifida, recently walked across the stage to pick up her diploma at Pinckney High School's graduation in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Alaine Caudle wasn’t only looking for the right words for her valedictorian speech. She was also looking for the right melody.
