"I chose to be a SMASH Parent Rep because most non-profit organizations have limited resources and this provides an opportunity for me to give back.  It may not always be easy but it is worth it. I am currently working as a Credit Specialist at Lending Club Corporation in San Francisco, CA." - Marilyn Ordonez, mother of SMASH Senior Adriel "A.D." Ordonez. Email: mhordonez@att.net.

I’m inspired to be a SMASH Parent Representative not by the all too common spirit of competitiveness but by the endearing thought that our youth collectively can advance at an accelerated rate if we, their elders share with them the wisdom of our true experiences; God, our culture, successes and setbacks, best practices and lessons learned to navigate and ultimately master this universal system called “life”.
