Fall 2022 Graduate Makes Dream Come True in Face of Challenges
Among the graduate students who walked the stage for fall 2022 was Gloria Reyes, who earned a Master of Business Administration. Reyes graduated with honors in 2012 from Texas A&M University-San Antonio, where she received her Bachelor of Arts and Science. Despite her academic success, Reyes’s road to graduation was not easy.
She struggled with dyslexia and, back in 2011, took in her nieces that were, at the time, a month old and four years old. They are now her daughters, whom she raised as a single mother while working as a jet engine mechanic.
“I’ve always told them that the only person who can ever hold you back is yourself. That your learning disabilities do not define you. They are superpowers,” said Reyes. “I once pointed out to my youngest that in every superhero movie, the hero had to learn to use those powers.”
Reyes leads by example, helping her children overcome dyslexia and other learning disabilities. She showed her daughters that she wrestles with challenges too but does not let it stop her. Read more.
