Sylvestre | MTV Tr3s

01 Listo para el futuro -- Sylvestre reflects on
his goals and how far he's come.

<|>

Name: Sylvestre
Why He's Cool: Football Captain, High School President
Where his family is from: Puerto Rico
Where He Lives: South Bronx, NY

Sylvestre, a South Bronx NY native, is a leader on and off the field. A senior at the New Explorers High School, Sylvestre says his hard work, discipline and determination stem from the skills he learned playing football. Not only did football play an important role in building Sylvestre's social and educational experiences, but it also provided him with an extended family in the form of teammates and his head coach.

Earlier in his high school career, Sylvestre needed a boost in building up his academic record. After a chance meeting with Francis, his high school's Parent Supervisor, Sylvester got smart about his studies and began to excel in the classroom. Today he is a straight-A student, School President, and captain of the Varsity football team. He plans on receiving a full scholarship to a university of his choice with a major in computers. This will make Sylvestre the first in his family to graduate — which makes this all-star's mother his #1 fan.

Music: "Music relaxes me before my games and helps me concentrate on my skills."

He seems like he gets amazing support from his Mom, teachers, coaches and friends. I wish more schools would get involved in kids lives like this. It makes all the difference. Way to go!

Submitted by Michelle on 10.26.2007 at 04:33pm

Me imagino que sabes leer espanol pero a ma say dis in English IM PROUD OF U es mas u make me feel proud of myself just because ur young and opened minded in taking advantages of all this oportunities that this country provide us with at such a young age. To able to set your mind in to positivism so early in your life is a BIG ACHIEVEMENT! and of course just because your hispanic n representing for all boricuas out there like myself. So te doy 10 chocolates por tu tremendo esfuerzo y 10 mas por ser tan chulo:D

Submitted by Michelle Suarez on 10.26.2007 at 04:41pm

I wanna say that u should feel proud of urself es mas U MAKE ME FEEL PROUD and I dont even know you at all. And that's what makes somebody have that feeling, I think is very outstanding that you being so young and being able to be opened minded about taking advantages of all the services that this country provides us with and to used it to your advantage also with the support of your love ones and you know who there are. Gud luck keep it up! y te voy a dar 10 chocolates por tu tremendo esfuerzo y 10 por al lao'por ser tan chulito:D
