INDIANAPOLIS — Graduation season is here and one recent IUPUI grad is proving that no matter what life throws at you, you can overcome any obstacle.
Ashley Scheibelhut was born deaf and she faced many challenges growing up while having multiple surgeries. Through it all, though, she persisted, and she graduated from IUPUI over the weekend.
