What was the best advice you have ever received? Who gave you the advice?
“Perspective is key to reap the most benefits of life.” I was given the advice by Mr. Beltran in class last year when we went on a tangent stemming from a lesson about The Great Depression.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
In the next 5 years, I hope to accomplish earning my Bachelor’s in Computer Science. Also, I’d hope to be given the opportunity to work for a tech company in the San Antonio area at this point.

a
hilarious middle-grade true story that chronicles the misadventures and quest of fourth-grader Jordan as he tries to find his place in the world.
Sonnenblick derived inspiration for this critically-acclaimed memoir from his fourth-grade teacher, Miss Tuff (Elizabeth Tuff Duffy, who retired in 2001, after teaching for 38 years), who completely changed his life and to whom the book is dedicated.
