Will says:  “Ever since I stepped foot into the school he was always and I mean always there for me. He became a fatherly figure and mentor to me. I spent so much time around him with soccer and having him as a teacher and I'm very glad I got to do that.  He taught me how to not quit no matter what, just give it your all because that's all you can do. He believed in me and I'm very grateful for that.”  After high school, Will plans on going to college to major in occupational therapy.
