Bryce Damon is a junior from Rancho Campana high school, teaching us how friendships will help us overcome hardships in life. Bryce Damon, a 16-year-old Junior born and raised in California, goes to Rancho Campana High School. He can be good at many things, but then choose not to pursue them until it’s too late. Throughout it all though, Bryce has been sure of one thing: People. He has always thrived on connection and hopes to go into his experiences jumping from the worst time in his life to the best, all thanks to such supportive friends around him. Bryce hopes to encourage others to care more about their relationships and understand their importance in one’s growth.
