The energetic Wilson Bonilla, 8th, knew that he was having the time of his life when playing laser tag with his family in Tennessee.

Wilson has two younger sisters that he gets along with very well, but his most influential family member is his father.

“He has been through a lot,” Wilson said.

Other than hanging out with family, Wilson also loves watching action movies and listening to rap music.

“My favorite book is Benched because it is action packed,” Wilson said. “Rap is cool, and you can move a lot.”

Wilson’s best strength is being happy.

“Life is good,” Wilson said.

One of Wilson’s closest friends is Jose Morales, 8th.

“Wilson inspired me not to not to do drugs,” Jose said.
