Andrew Boughner loves to ski; but while growing up, he realized that his celebrity skiing idols really were not the true heroes in his life. He sheds light into understanding the perspectives of global heroes compared to the true heroes who directly impact your life.

Andrew Boughner is a Grade 11 student at Trinity College School. Before attending TCS, you could always find Andrew either running or on the ski hills. Since a young age, Andrew has always advocated for himself through any means he could find. His perseverance to strive and put forth his best effort in whatever he is taking part in is always present.
