“On the first day of school, I informed my teacher myself that I have a 504 plan, and with that I have a hearing disability. She informed me that there are specialized tools like this stethoscope that I can use to help me better succeed." - Charlotte Reece
“I feel like a lot of people can sometimes look down on you, and I think just talking to us… being mature about everything can also really help also.” - Rebecca Torres
