12th Grade Students
Student: Lorenzo Garcia
Grade: 12
Nominating Teacher: K. Wegner
Comments: Lorenzo is probably the kindest and most genuine student at Wa Hi. He is thoughtful and helpful. One incident will stick with me forever. We had a student come back from the blood drive who suddenly felt sick and like she was going to faint. Lorenzo helped me with her, keeping her calm and talking reassuringly to her. When the wheelchair and nurse came he made sure she had her backpack and other items. It is rare to see so much compassion in a teenager. Every student knows Lorenzo is their friend!
