David Martinez III describes himself as a black sheep of his family, a middle child of 6 kids from rural southern Arizona. He was the first in his family to attend college, during which he served as a member of the Board of Regents. He describes the pressure of being a student representative, voting on tuition increases he personally wouldn't be able to afford. I hope my conversation with David will make you laugh, smile, and leave you inspired to find your small steps towards advocacy and community.
