SOFIA MONICA AGUIAR University of Miami Class of 2026 SOFIA AGUIAR University of Miami Class of 2025 You did it! We are so proud of the strong, determined young woman you have become— and we know this is only the beginning. With dyslexia and ADHD, and voices that doubted you, your journey was not easy. But you refused to be defined by limits. Through resilience, grit, and a growing sense of purpose, you carved your own path and proved them all wrong. You didn’t just rise to the challenge—you surpassed it. We admire your determination, your courage, and your strong belief in yourself. Watching you grow, adapt, and succeed has been one of our greatest joys. We are so proud of you, Sofia. Go get them, Cane!
