To have to make time for your school work, family time and practice time is a challenge. There are so many positive things I have to say about Wagner High School, but the one thing that I have to place above the rest is the staff. I will always be thankful that I went to Wagner rather than any other school in San Antonio. We are more important than any school work, sport, workout, essay, any other person. He is an incredible athlete who will do whatever it takes to help his team.
