Join Katie as she sits down with 2022 Scholar Yahir Chairez-Salazar to hear his powerful story of resilience, determination, and purpose. The summer before his sophomore year, Yahir lost his leg in a devastating car accident, but fought his way back—both academically and as a collegiate wrestler. His journey from hospital bed to wrestling mat is nothing short of remarkable. Now, the Colorado School of Mines junior is sharing his message of hope and perseverance. In this conversation, he opens up about finding light in the darkest moments, what keeps him moving forward, and the incredible milestones he’s achieved in the face of adversity.
