Going to vo-tech during his junioryear no doubt inspired his decision and has ended up being what he remembers most about high school. However, what impacted him themost and really drove his love for cars was getting his Mustang because“it completely changed my perspective of being a car enthusiast.”

In addition to cars, music is Emmanuel’s other love. He really enjoys any genre of music from acoustics to rock to piano music. Skip-

ping to the genre of country, Emmanuel’s favorite song is “Who I AmWith You” by Chris Young. Mixing his love of music and cars, it is no wonder that Emmanuel’s favorite movie is The Fast and theFurious franchise. While in school, he liked having Mr. Rodriguez as a teacher, but wishes he didn’t procrastinate so much duringhis sophomore year. The people he admires the most are his mother and father because they have made him the man he is today.

The person she most admires is her mother becauseshe has given her sister and her everything she possibly couldand has taught them so many valuable things that they will usefor the rest of their lives. The thing she remembers most aboutschool is sports and all of the amazing times she has been ableto share with her friends.

her freshman year. The event that had the greatest impact on her life was going out for sports her fresh-man year. She has learned so many life lessons from her basketball coach that will benefit her throughouther whole life. If she hadn’t been part of the team, she wouldn’t be as prepared for life after high schoolas she is now.
