Inspiration for joining the school choice movement:

My two sisters and I were very fortunate to receive an education based on each of our individual needs, but it was not an easy road getting there and options were still limited. At the end of the day, my parents worked tirelessly and broke through roadblock after roadblock to make it happen.

All families should have the freedom to choose the best educational path for their child, yet far too many still don’t have the opportunity. My inspiration for joining the school choice movement is knowing that can change.
