Robby Rodriguez (right), a senior at Woodburn Arts and Communications Academy, shows his artwork to his foster mother, Debi Haslebacher, at WACA Art Night last Thursday. Despite a childhood marred by drugs, gangs and then foster care, Rodriguez is fighting to beat the odds to prove he can make a name for himself.
While he may not be a straight-A student or have dreams of becoming a neurosurgeon, Robby Rodriguez’s future will be just as bright when he walks across the stage to receive his diploma on June 3.
