He was able to accomplish a growth of awareness and schools for those who truly needed it. Andrew inspires me to find my passion, to try different things and not to be intimated by obstacles that may come my way. His story is extremely empowering, it just reassures me that I am in control of my future. I’m in charge in making the decisions in my life and nothing can hold me back when I make my dream into reality. I admire Andrew and his journey to success and it just gives me confidence to go on with my life and improve what I can. I believe that Andrew deserve more recognition from the hearing world. I think that people that are privileged with the ability to hear take it for granted and doesn’t really think in the struggle of others.

That’s one of the main reasons that I am taking this class and I hope that this new skill will let me be more help to others.
Andrew Foster was a ball of fire, he saw something that he could improve and did everything in his power to help. All his accomplishments got him awards and recognition that helped his cause.
