“When Sergio visited our campus he rapidly gained the trust and respect of our students. He related to them through his personal stories and ability to address teenage topics of interest. Our students freely accepted his invitation to ask questions. He provoked abundant inquiries regarding his family, the impact of a college education, and his opinions regarding risky behaviors. His amazing ability to connect with students helped them to listen to constructive messages which were very much youth-driven and appropriate.” ---Lorena Sanchez, Principal of Santiago High School, Garden Grove, California.
