Scenarios USA asked high school students what is the real deal about masculinity. Students wrote scripts as part of the Scenarios curriculum interpreting the way they see masculinity in their communities and their lives. One of the winners of this years competition was Angelica Hernandez. She wrote the story, "A Man Made Early" about a high school student who takes care of his sisters and all household duties while his mother works double shifts to support the family. In this film, the main character is torn between his responsibilities at home in the Valley (south Texas) and leaving his family to go to college in California.
