Welcome Xander a 17 year old who holds a unique perspective of attending college from a younger age than usual. His parents separated when he was 7 leading to a tough upbringing. Raised by his mum, living with his 2 younger siblings in a financially struggling home, he hopes to not repeat the mistakes he has seen already.

Xander shares that he can't imagine not attending Guardian, that it's given him a new sense of pride, confidence and a feeling of having a second home.
