In the spirit of the holidays, a student at Wellington High School is selling handcrafted trees and to help gather money for his school’s sports department.
Michael Guido grew up in Loxahatchee, playing nearly every sport. But wrestling, boxing, and track were always his favorites.
“I like not having to rely on other people. Knowing that if I mess up, it’s on me and knowing I have to improve myself,” said Guido a multi-sport athlete at Wellington Community High School.
He credits sports for teaching him many life lessons.
“It makes me feel good, especially when I’m winning. Winning makes me feel good. Losing is good too, because you learn what you need to build on,” said Guido.
Recently, he joined the school’s wrestling team.
“For sports, we have to raise $100 for insurance, and you have to get stuff for the hotels you have to go to and the meets you have to go to,” said Guido.
Instead of selling candy or asking people for money, Guido grabbed hardwood, a saw, and a nail gun.
