“Prom, it's the biggest thing in a girls high school career. The past week I have been preparing to look like a princess at prom. I've gotten my nails done, my hair, saved my money and picked the perfect dress. All of this has led to the big moment and prom is going to be amazing.”

“On May 27, 2016, I will be working with my church Youth group at Ladies Tea Party and raising money for our summer camp, Regeneration. I am happy to help aide the church in any way I can.”

"In this stand point of my life, the biggest thing that is going on in my life, is creating a career and a personal branding in high school. This plant, or stand point of my life, can determine the rest of my future. In high school, I am currently in the Digital Media program branching out into photography. This means that I am doing photoshoots with random people and friends and making money off it. This allows me to reach my main goal, being successful as a photographer. Th

“As of right now, I am cramming in tons of homework and late work that I need to catch up on. I procrastinate alot and I’ve just gotten lazier, meaning I don’t turn in assignments in on time. Overall, I’ve become very stressed and it’s been difficult to manage my time. It results in me with grades that are not straight A’s nor do I have a 4.0 GPA. Many of my projects involve partners, so the result of me not doing my work has affected their grade and perspective on me. My par

“My favorite memory is just the experience I have had in my program in general. I love how close everyone in my program got and I am so glad I am in the Biomed program here — I wouldn't want to be in any other one. I also loved doing our senior research project because we got to integrate all of the skills we have learned within the last four years into one project.“

“As I drove up the rough roads of Red Rock Mountain, I knew that I had only one goal in mind and one goal only: to impress the babes. I gripped the steering wheel and ignited on the gas pedal as my car accelerated at about 50 mph. As I hit that jump, it felt like I was flying on top of the world for the longest 2 seconds of my life. My foot slammed into the breaks as we landed, and I quickly got the feeling something was immediately wrong. My jaw dropped in shock as I saw the

"About a year ago, I lost my grandpa, one of my greatest role models, to COPD Lung Disease. Not only did he serve the El Monte community for 29 years as a captain for the police department, but he is also the man who loved me, showed me new things, took me on new experiences, and truly showed me what it meant to smile. I smile because he taught me the true meaning, and for that, I continue to smile so that I can show the next person what it means to smile. It's a beautiful th

“Baseball has affected my life by influencing me to be competitive and a leader on my baseball team and in general, this translates into me being able to effectively communicate with people and allows me to drive for greatness”.

“Right now I am really looking forward to summer. This is going to be the first summer I have my license and my own car. One of my favorite things to do is drive toward red rock right after sunset. The sky is a cotton candy pink that fades into lavender, and the mountains look really beautiful. It is my favorite time of day, but right now I am usually doing homework during the sunset. This summer I am also on the lookout for another pair of heart shaped sunglasses. I only hav

“I’m planning a date for me and my boyfriend’s six month anniversary. It’ll be at night, and I’m gonna have Christmas lights on in the backyard. I’m gonna set up my projector to play a movie, and there’s gonna be a bunch of blankets, so it’ll be like a picnic on the grass. It’ll be really pretty outside; I’m just really excited! We’ll also play board games and watch movies that he chooses. It’s happening on the Friday of June 2nd.”
