Victor

Victor is looking forward to taking the field with his teammates on Friday nights. As a football team captain, he leads with confidence and determination. “I don’t like to lose,” he said.

Victor is competitive but also compassionate. As chair of the Unified club, he promotes inclusion through sports and games. Unified is about building friendships with differently abled peers. Victor sees the difference it makes in his classmates’ lives.

He works part-time as a personal care attendant for a young man with special needs. Victor helps him learn life skills, gain independence, and have fun.

At home, Victor enjoys cooking. For his birthday, he asked his parents for a virtual cooking class with Gordon Ramsey. He learned a lot from Chef Ramsey and now he whips up dishes like beef wellington, cedar planked grilled salmon, and rosemary crepes.

He’s a culinary enthusiast but doesn’t plan a career in it. Math is Victor’s favorite school subject and he plans to study finance in college.

With his fierce perseverance and concern for others, Victor will make a big impact in the world.

On and off the field, he makes every play count.
