K12 Kids are Amazing: Agora Cyber Charter School student Brandon F.

Here's an inspiring story about an Agora Cyber Charter School student, who discovered his joy of cycling after joining Cadence,  a Philadelphia nonprofit that gives opportunities for underserved youth through cycling.

Throughout middle school and the beginning of his freshman year in high school, Brandon was a victim of bullying. The constant bullying began to interfere with his learning. "I didn't want to go to school," he said. "I did anything I could to get through the day. That meant sitting in the back of the class, not paying attention, sleeping."  Brandon's family enrolled him in Agora Cyber Charter and he found Cadence where he discovered a passion for cycling.
