Guatemala + Florida = Wisco

“We met in third grade. He had recently moved from Guatemala and didn’t have many connections. One day, I needed colored pencils, but I didn’t have any. Without asking him, he reached into his backpack, pulled out a box and shared his colorful pencils with me. We’ve been friends ever since” (Logan Kramer, junior).

“He moved around constantly throughout his childhood. He seemed to always be bouncing back and forth between Wisconsin and Florida. On the first day of high school, he walked into AVID and stood at the door, searching for a place to sit. I noticed him right away. I called out his name and motioned for him to sit in the empty seat next to me. He was a friend to me when I didn’t have many. I figured giving him a seat was the least I could do” (Kevin Berridge, junior).
