I remember before my child came to TASOK she had a very hard time in her learning because of her disability, now that she's in TASOK the disability doesn't feel present. I'm thankful for everyone but mostly for Mrs.Schreurs, she is an angel fallen from the sky, she was with my daughter every step of the way, she would find a way to fix the problem before contacting me to not bother me. I will never stop being thankful for Mrs.Schreurs and will miss her very much.
