Riley Chagniot knows how hard school can be with a learning disability. In her thoughtful talk, she looks at how ADD, attention deficit disorder, has challenged her, helped her, and how schools can become centers where all students flourish.

Riley Chagniot is a senior at Sacred Heart Cathedral Prep. She is a part of the softball team and on the Spirit Rally Board at SHC. She has found herself in comedy; she is trying to make individuals happier and uses her comedic skills to change the world. Diagnosed with ADD at age nine, Riley is not an "average" student. Her creativity, humor, and artistic abilities make her profoundly unique.
