Pat is a transgender teen from Azusa, California. She has been an outspoken advocate for California's School Success and Opportunity Act (AB 1266), which makes sure schools give transgender students a fair chance to fully participate in all programs and facilities. Despite experiencing homelessness and poverty, living motel to motel, Pat has maintained a 4.0 GPA, was a cheerleader, played on the softball team, and was voted student body president. Not surprisingly, she has big plans for her future.
