As a third grader, Sergio Triana was recognized in the Beaulieu Excellence in Education Program for reading more books than anyone in his grade in Whitfield County or Dalton Public Schools in Georgia. But, because he was not yet a U.S. citizen with a social security number, he could not collect his prize: $1,000 U.S. Savings Bond.
