2019 R2L NextGen
Hometown: National City, California
School: Clairemont High School
“Taking part in the R2L NextGen program has been life changing. Coming into the program, I was shy and afraid of starting a conversation. As the program went on, I learned how kind, caring, and respectful everyone is. As I leave D.C. I plan to take what I have learned and apply it to my community, and this will stay with me forever in my mind and heart.”
