Sophomore Juan Munguia makes a point of stopping to talk to kids he sees lingering in hallways between classes at Roosevelt High School in south Minneapolis. He offers a pep talk of sorts, a one-to-one connection to say, here is someone who believes in you, who knows you can do your best and can get your grades up, if you're in that room.
