“My journey with a learning disability created a source of understanding when approaching situations that are different from my own.
The hurdles I have overcome field my determination to be empathetic towards others’ differences.
I am grateful for being a part of a school community blessed by Mr. Montaño who inspired all of us to be great and to also recognize others’ achievements.”
