Andy Camargo, Arlington Heights
Andy Camargo is only a 7th grader at Thomas Middle School in Arlington Heights, but already he's been to Alaska, British Columbia, Fiji, New Zealand and Australia as a student ambassador with People to People, the leadership program founded by President Eisenhower.
Now he'll be watching the inauguration as part of the group's special delegation, learning from discussions with political experts, attending the People to People Inaugural Ball, and visiting monuments and memorials.
"I think it's a really great opportunity," said Camargo, who is considering a career in politics. "I'm really grateful."
Camargo lives with his grandparents, MarySue and Geoff Iverson.
