J.E.B. Stuart High School
Falls Church, Virginia
“The R2L Next Gen program has been a life-changing experience I will never forget. My courage and comfort were tested, as I slowly grew out of my shell. I got to meet people from all around the country, with the same passion as me. I networked and created lifetime bonds. Lastly, I learned that even a young kid like me can have their voice heard and change the country. But, most of all, the greatest thing I have walked away with is the skill of getting comfortable with the uncomfortable.”
