Daniel Zepeda is a ‘Made in Hayward’ fourth grader at Fairview Elementary school, who is humble, enthusiastic, and strives to be a role model, at the young age of 10! First off…100% attendance at school! I never achieved that in all my years of schooling!
 
Family is important, with mom and dad, from Michoacán and Jalisco, respectively, three older sisters, Snoopy, their black and white dog, and five chickens…no rooster! Michoacán or Jalisco? “Michoacán…it’s greener”. He has been to both states, three times and loves it: Family, food, friends, horses, four-wheelers with uncle, and all else.
