A 9th grader at DCHS prepared a winning essay in tribute to his mom and dad for the honor of “Parents of the Month” for March.
Christopher Gallegos’ parents, Tiffany and Abel Cota received a certificate from the school and a gift card for a meal at El Rancho Mexican Restaurant.
“My mom and dad are the best support I have had my whole entire life. I just wanted to show them a little appreciation and how much I love them,” said Gallegos in explaining why he wrote the essay.
“We are very proud of Christopher,” said his mom Tiffany. “He has come a long way. When he was born he had a fractured skull and needed two pints of blood so we think of him as a miracle child because he was a very sick baby. We are very honored to have him recognize us for this,” said Tiffany.
Christopher is a member of the FBLA and Spanish Clubs and math is his favorite subject in school. His future plans are to pursue a career either in the automotive industry or in construction.
Ms Cota said her husband is a contractor for Meadows Homes and she is a stay at home mom. In addition to Christopher the Cota’s have a daughter, Jasmine Gallegos.
