Marcelino, 14 years old, IL

Marcelino is an incredibly smart young man, with almost all of his school classes being AP level. He is thriving in his favorite activity, marching band. He cares deeply about his siblings and his mom, especially after entering foster care and seeing how difficult the situation has been for everyone, including himself. Despite this, he continues to try his best, enjoys his cooking classes at school, and loves talking about his favorite Netflix documentary, The Dinosaurs.
