So busy that his academic pursuits pulled him away from his chair as the youth councilor on the Keizer City Council halfway through his term. Hernandez was a regular presence at meetings until a college writing course at Willamette University created a scheduling confl ict, but sitting city councilors were all praise as they honored Hernandez for his time with the council. “I’ve known Sam since sophomore year and he was a standout then,” said Councilor Laura Reid, who is also a teacher at McNary High School. “He takes advantage of all his opportunities in a way that helps him build new skills. You stand out among your peers in a way that brings them up.” Hernandez reported that he will be attending Pomona College this fall on a full-ride scholarship.
