From Today’s Local News:
In March 2006, at age 16, Myriam Rodriguez was arrested in connection with punching a police officer in the face, she said. In order to have the charges dropped, Myriam was sent to the Boys & Girls Club in Carlsbad to participate in the Gangbusters program.
On Jan. 24, Myriam was honored as the 2007 Youth of the Year at the Eighth annual Boys & Girls Clubs of Carlsbad Super Star Recognition Dinner at the Village branch location.
“I was just extremely happy about it. I don’t know how to explain it, just a really happy moment,” she said.
Congratulations to Myriam and the Carlsbad Goys & Girls Club.
