Bio: Gabe Matta is a rising senior at Gonzaga College High School in Washington, D.C., where he plays on their nationally ranked Varsity Rugby team and is a member of the National Honor Society. Outside of school, he enjoys working with kids by coaching youth football, teaching Catholic Faith Formation classes and volunteering with the Young Men’s Service League and the Downs Syndrome Association of Northern Virginia.

Why: This year, I have learned not to take time for granted and to be present in every moment. This opportunity allows me to cherish the time I have left with my dad before going off to college while learning about new cultures and giving back to the poorest of the poor.
