Graduation Is the Goal, Staying Alive the Prize

CHICAGO — The bonding moment between Veronica Tinajero and the student she calls Big Sunshine came during one of their first meetings.

“Have you ever been shot?” the student, a high school senior, asked. When Ms. Tinajero replied no, he looked genuinely amazed and said, “Wow, almost everybody I know’s been shot.” Later, he ticked off a list of his own bullet wounds: upper thigh, left hand, scalp.

“I should have been dead already,” he said.

With that, Ms. Tinajero, 24 and a public schools employee, gained a fuller understanding of what she was up against. A professional advocate, she is in Big Sunshine’s life for two reasons: to help keep him alive and on track to graduation, and now college.

Excellent story. One problem: the piece never shows Big Sunshine’s face in either of its photos.

Try this on:

Say “Big Sunshine,” see “Big Sunshine.”

Just like on TV.
