Alessandro Diaz from Oak Street Campus is Hillsboro Rotary Student of the Month

Congratulations to Alessandro Diaz, Hillsboro Rotary Club Student of the Month from Oak Street Campus. Alessandro and his guests, OSC counselors Courtney Graves and Jem Wong, who celebrated his award with the Rotary and Alessandro shared a little about himself as he received his award certificate. First, thanks were expressed to those who nominated him, and to Rotary for the recognition. Alessandro wanted to be a doctor as a child, and through school he was able to shadow doctors and nurses at a clinic in Portland. There he met a patient whose attitude and advice made a big impact. The advice? Make them laugh. By making people laugh, you can make a deeper connection; create community and unity. Alessandro has definitely taken that advice to heart! Next year, Alessandro plans to attend Purdue or Tulane and pursue a biochemistry degree and hopes to become a doctor. We look forward to visiting him when he becomes a doctor who will make us laugh.
