“I am able to attend various clubs throughout the school day since I have this advantage,” Verbanc said. “Not only this, but I can dedicate more time to the lessons that I need help with. Planning my day has allowed me to get the most out of school, allowing me to fully enjoy it and the clubs I am involved in.”
