Meet Fernando Arana 🎓 #RealTriumphs Grad When Fernando was born in Guatemala, he was diagnosed with Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a very rare bone disorder that causes soft and fragile bones and deformities, among other issues. As a result, Fernando has to use a wheelchair. At eight months, he and his family moved from Guatemala to West Palm Beach, where he continued his schooling and tried to live his life unhinged from OI. After taking an architecture elective at his arts high school, Fernando decided that the FIU School of Architecture was the right fit for him based on the program and closeness to his home. He majored in Architecture and is now receiving his masters through the accelerated degree program. To read more about Fernando’s story, visit the links in bio. Congratulations, Fernando!
