nice article on Albane Valenzuela
More than two years ago, as she prepared to write the essays on her Stanford application, Albane Valenzuela reached the prompt asking prospective students to describe a person who had a significant impact on their life.
Valenzuela needed no time to choose her subject.
She wrote about her younger brother, Alexis, who was diagnosed with autism as an infant. He barely talked at all in his first five years — and now, at 16, he speaks three languages and hopes to follow his sister in landing a college scholarship to play golf.
