🎓#MCSDSENIORSTORIES🎓 Today's senior in the spotlight is Rafael J. Fanjul III of Martin County High School! "Our family moved to Florida at the end of April 2020, so my son spent the end of his sophomore year and all of his junior year online due to the pandemic," Rafael's proud mother, Teresa Fanjul, shared. "His senior year was his first year in the school in person. Rafael is one of the bravest and most inspiring young people I have ever known." Rafael suffers from a chronic condition that requires him to receive infusions with debilitating side effects. He spent his early life in and out of hospitals and schools. When he was 13 and finally diagnosed, his life changed. He began to excel in school and in life. At MCHS, he has been on the honor roll and takes honors courses. He applied to five universities and was accepted at four of them. He plans to attend Florida Atlantic University and pursue a degree in biochemistry. He'd like to become a pediatric anesthesiologist because he wants to give back to and help kids like himself. "We are so proud of him and his academic achievements," Ms. Fanjul shared. "He has had to fight many times as hard as his peers. He has faced his illness bravely with no complaints. In addition to his academic success, he is a masterful baker. He has created some 'out of this world' recipes that our family raves about. Finally, he has a very dry sense of humor and drive for learning, both of these give him a wonderful and bright personality. We could not be more proud of our amazing son, who has fought so hard and come out on top. The picture I included is of young Rafael in front of a plane his great-grandfather flew. He loved aerospace and aviation when he was growing up." 🎉Congratulations, Rafael! 🎉 We are so very proud of you!
