Jaclyn, “As a child, myself classified with learning disabilities, I was transformed from frustrated, confused and about to give up student, into a striving and hard working student. Great teachers who were able to adapt their teaching styles to aid students with different learning styles, facilitated this. I know through my experiences that all children learn in their own way and I am inspired to be a pioneer for future generations.”
