#Shoutout to Breakthrough Miami Scholar and Charle

#Shoutout to Breakthrough Miami Scholar and Charles R. Hadley Elementary School student, Diego Vanegas! 🍎

Diego has demonstrated an outstanding commitment to his role as a Breakthrough Miami Scholar through his perfect Saturday attendance record. He consistently shows enthusiasm and positivity in every activity, regularly uplifting fellow Scholars around him. Diego leads by example by always working hard, being engaged, and showing support for his Breakthrough peers. His energy, leadership, and dedication truly embody our "breakalicious" spirit.

Diego is interested in pursuing a career in law. He is highly motivated to do his best and often talks about his future goals. He aspires to attend one of the best universities and frequently mentions @Harvard as his dream school.

Diego enjoys playing soccer, loves chess, and is passionate about music. He is very competitive and likes to stand out through his hard work. He currently serves as a school patrol at @crhadleyknights and takes his responsibility to help others very seriously.

Amazing work, Diego! 👏
