The following story was provided by Middlesex College.Â
This is a story of friendship. It is also a story of compassion. And, if truth be told, also of a bit of nagging.
Vikas Matta and Ariel Guzman met at Piscataway Vo-Tech and became fast friends. That continued even when Guzman joined the U.S. Marines in 2010, through 10 years in active service, and while Matta sold cars, trying to figure out what to do with his life.
