My Project

My students have achieved academic excellence against all odds. Although they have certain challenges, they have worked hard to conquer skills and tackle difficult work.

I always teach my students that no matter what they are capable of learning to read.

They are always taught that their disability does not hinder them from achieving greatness. I work to provide an education that meets their needs but also shows their tremendous skill. By providing access to books, I would be able to have resources to better teach my students. All help is appreciated!
