Accomplishment: Jesus has shown huge academic progress says his teacher Catherine Bell
Key to Awesomness: When he entered the first grade he was reading at level 3. He is now reading at level 14. He has accomplished this by working hard and consistently overcoming his obstacles. At the beginning of the year, he would get frustrated and give up with reading. Now, as we near the end of this school year, it is rare not to see Jesus engrossed in a book.

His successes are partially due to his willingness to ask for help from his peers. He is attentive to other students’ opinions and views. He isn’t afraid to ask questions until he understands the concepts being taught. Jesus is determined to learn and be a successful lifelong learner.
