In the buzzing World Language building at Vintage High School, I meet with Hudson, a Vintage High senior, NVUSD Student Board Member, and varsity runner. During our interview, Hudson reveals a surprising truth: for many years, his default setting wasn’t "yes." He shares that he was a "no" person.

It took his own innate abilities, the guidance of a coach and college counselor, and hundreds of miles on the pavement to shift towards "yes."

As I sat down to interview Dustin, he quickly paused to sign a friend’s yearbook. Turning back to me, he asked with striking honesty, “I am very social. I am also high-functioning autistic-could you tell?”

As we spoke, I was struck by his thoughtful demeanor, resilience, and the subtle, observant way he regarded the world. In many ways, it felt as if I was talking to a wise elder rather than a high school senior. 

Before the interview began, Michelle asked, with genuine humility, why she was selected as a student to represent her high school by Principal Karin Hatton. The moment she began sharing her story, the answer was clear: Michelle was someone who spent her educational journey quietly achieving the extraordinary.
