Meet Aiden Bustamante, a Birdville High School Soccer player and the first winner of the Feather of Courage Scholarship awarded to a Birdville player.
Aiden is a member of the National Honor Society, the Tripoli Rocket Association, and was one of five students selected to participate in the Calculus Bowl at the University of Arlington. Aiden intends to major in engineering.
Aiden, like Kyle, saw a place to make a difference with other students by sharing his story and making everyone feel seen and understood. Each Feather of Courage scholarship recipient has that ability: to make a difference.
Aiden’s favorite memory from Birdville soccer this year was during the team dinner where he got to know his fellow teammates in a more personal way.
Busta, as the team calls him, is tough and determined in everything he does. The team would have been a little worse off if not for him. Aidan was able to juggle an extensive academic schedule along with starting every varsity game for 2 years. Coach Garcia said Busta earned these accolades and is confident he will be a man with a super bright future.
