“Schools have lots of incidents of asthma attacks and I had one before at my school. School nurses should have resources to help with asthma attacks such as breathing treatments. When I ride around and do tricks on my skateboard and with the pollution in the air, it triggers my asthma.”

– Bryant

“En las escuelas hay muchos incidentes de ataques de asma y yo tuve uno antes en mi escuela. Las enfermeras de las escuelas deben tener recursos para ayudar con los ataques de asma, como tratamientos respiratorios. Cuando uso mi patineta y hago trucos, debido a la contaminación del aire, me provoca asma”.
