Asked what he wants to be when he grows up, Max surprised his mother when he replied he wants to be a teacher like she is.
“A teacher?” his mother reacted. “You want to be a teacher? I didn’t know that. Wow."
“I’m glad he has these teachers as role models,” Jonathan Lasko said. “He's looking ahead and imagining himself in the role of teacher, and just like any of us, he's not going to let his different abilities get in the way of doing what he is passionate about.”
NBC4 Washington reporter Chris Gordon (and videographer Lance Ing) helped us share our experience having Max attend the Bender JCC preschool via telepresence robot.

Hi, I just watched your day in a life with max and it brought tears to my eyes. My daughter also has SMA and to know that our children are normal but their bodies are not allowing them to do that they want is heart breaking. But after reading that max received his spinraza treatment I have high hopes he will get strong and be a great fighter! Go max god bless
