21-year-old student joins board

AURORA (AP) — Ignacio "Nacho" Cervantes Jr. is the kind of guy who won't go out all weekend unless he's done with his work.

These days, that means balancing his duties as the youngest board of education member in the history of East Aurora School District 131, his studies as a junior at Aurora University — where he keeps a 3.7 GPA and serves as president of the Latin American Student Organization — and his work as co-owner of Tacos Junior, his family's Aurora catering business.

Nacho, 21, will be among the recipients of the 2013 Phenomenal Men of the Year awards next month from the Aurora-based organization Boys II Men, which encourages young black and Latino men to achieve excellence.

Good or bad? Depends on who you ask
