Carlos, a student and a volunteer firefighter, was nominated by his friend, fellow student and recent award-winner Audun Gruber-Hine.
“Carlos is a good friend who is a volunteer firefighter,” said Gruber-Hine. “He goes and reaches out to people and tries to help them with their problems, whether it be with schoolwork or with health. He is an overall good person.” Small enjoys reading, gaming, walking and cooking in his spare time. “One of my goals for 2024 is to get more knowledge on how to help my fellow members in the Mecklenburg Volunteer Fire Company,” he said. “After high school, I plan on taking a gap year and then going to a two-year college for some form of forensics.”
Rotarian Peggy Haine added that she’s worked for several years with Carlos’ mom, Karen. “I have enjoyed watching [Carlos] grow into a very mature, thoughtful young man,” said Haine. “In his down time, he has also started a small business, and I know he is a great help at home. I’m delighted that we can recognize young people like Carlos and encourage others to commit to serving their communities, as well.”
