Meet Your Neighbor: Daniel

Twenty years ago, Daniel's parents left Colombia dreaming of a better future in America. They built a warm, loving home in Queens where Daniel thrived—until his father's devastating heart attack during Daniel's freshman year of high school. Watching his father's health deteriorate, Daniel's own world began to unravel. His attendance dropped, his grades suffered, and eventually, he stopped going to school altogether. See how Voyages Prep High School, one of QCH's five alternative high schools, gave Daniel a second chance at success and helped turn his life around during a very difficult time.
