 Here’s what one student, Michael Echevaria, had to say:

 “Dear Reynaldo Garcia; I would like to thank you for coming and representing Brown + Brown Architects at Forest Hill Community High School.  I found your presentation very informative and really found out the effort needed to be an architect.  Here is my resume if you can please contact me if there is any internship available.  Thank You!”
