Other comments on Reyes Rodriguez’s nomination stated “she is the ESL student chosen to welcome, lead and assist new ESL students in our community. She also takes it upon herself to help friends and family that have a language barrier. She will definitely be a leader in any community.”
Adianis’s parents are Ada and Calixto Rodriguez Reyes of Mission Hill. After high school she plans to attend college at the University of South Dakota to pursue a degree in education.
