With her sparkling black shoes, glowing face, and confident persona, Isabel shone like she did during her time at the SED Center. Today, Isabel Argueta, and her grandmother, Leonarda, visited the SED Center after graduating 4 years ago. Mrs. Sánchez DeGalvez embraced her while every teacher that walked by hugged her, with a big smile on their faces, and asked how she was doing in school. Meanwhile, her grandmother stood proudly looking down at Isabel—one could see the love and care reflected off of Leonarda’s eyes. It is no surprise that Isabel, heading to the 3rd grade, positions herself at the very top of her class. Her excellent grades turned into countless honor roll medals and have given her the confidence to achieve her dream of one day becoming a doctor. Isabel, however, does not just enjoy science. When asked what she liked most about her school, Meridian Public Charter, she said, “Math, but honestly, everything. I enjoy every class.” Her expertise also extends beyond the classroom: Picked from her class, she sang Seasons of Love by Rent at a recent school performance. Leonarda, her grandmother, also spoke highly of Isabel’s love for El Salvador and its beaches. She lightheartedly joked that Isabel tells them constantly not to forget to take her when they go to El Salvador. With gratitude, she thanked the SED Center “... for the 5 years Isabel attended SED and for the nurturing care that SED has given to over 4 generations of her family that graduated from the SED Center”.  At SED, we cannot help but feel proud and delighted of Isabel’s many accomplishments. Most notably, we look up to Isabel for her determination and perseverance at such an early age, and hope that her journey lands her among the stars.
