My name is John Portillo and I am 22 years old. I was born and raised in Los Angeles. I have worked in construction for about twelve years and I love building things. I had a hard time in school before I came to CALO YouthBuild. It is the best school that I have ever been to becuase you can tell that the teachers care about our education. The Buke Project is perfect for me because it challenges me and it is a change for my community. I know that this project will benefit our community and will make it better place for my son to grow up in. p.s. I love TACOS.
