Her mom is her superhero because of how hardcore and AMAZING she is. She started a small business from the ground up, and I have never seen such persistent and passion from someone before. She takes challenges head on, rolls with the punches, and when successful, always stays humbled and never settles for mediocrity.

I joined YAC because I wanted to make an impact on my community. I have always wanted to do something to help people and this was an amazing opportunity to do so. I am very passionate about mental health and well being for the youth so I am so glad that I found out about this program. It is very unique and I love that we get to have such a direct impact on the youth in our community.

He's a big fan of the Fast & Furious movies and if he had a superpower he hopes it would be flight, because flying through the air would feel free and liberating.
