Hamilton High School
Corning, California
“I did not expect the R2L Next Gen trip to be what it was. I expected lots of hard work (which there was) and no time to connect with my peers. I didn’t expect to feel as empowered and aware of national and territorial issues as I am now. I made lifelong friendships, became a stronger leader who is passionate to lead and help others, and I became a better person. Now I want to do more for myself, my family, friends, and my Latino community.”
