Today has been absolutely amazing. Three days ago I was just a regular kid getting ready for my senior year of high school. It's hard to believe that I was written about in the San Jose Mercury News and interviewed on ABC7 News. Today felt like a dream but it was real. I want to thank all of my supporters for raising awareness for my campaign. I also want to thank my family, friends, teachers, and anyone else who has inspired me. I hope that other young people will see what I have done and know that they too can make a difference.
