Chosen for this week’s Senior Spotlight is Abigail Cruz. Abi’s plans after high school are to go to college and major in Psychology or Graphic Design. Some things she likes to do in her free time are work and train for sports. A fun fact about Abi is that she may seem like a bubbly person, but she does not like talking to many people, keeping to herself a lot.
Q: What grade do you think was the most difficult, and how did you overcome it?
A: “Junior year was the most difficult. There was a lot of preparation for it, like becoming a senior and getting ready for senior year, altogether. There were also a lot of distractions, and I cut everyone off so I could focus on myself.”
Q: If your high school life was a reality TV show, what would it be titled?
A: “My name, Abi.”
Q: What is the most nervous aspect about graduating from high school?
A: “Leaving all of the underclassmen that I became close with and leaving the teachers I have bonded with. It all seems like a ‘full circle’ moment, and it is kind of sad but sad in a good way. My sister is a freshman, so it makes it harder.”
Q: Are you more likely to be early or late?
A: “I feel like I am always on time. Never too late, never too early. I grew up with that family that was always late, so I had to always be early, or I was going to be late.”
Q: If you could eat any food for the rest of your life, what would it be?
A: “My grandma’s Sancocho, which is basically a type of stew.”
Q: What is your biggest regret in life?
A: “Not speaking to more people. I wish I had made myself more ‘known’ and put myself out there more. I am a very closed-off type of person, especially now more than ever.”
Q: What is your favorite season of the year?
A: “The Spring is the perfect time of year for me. Not too hot, not too cold.”
Q: Out of your entire school career, what teacher has been your biggest inspiration or influence?
A: “Mrs. Velez. When I first got here, she was a very good person. She knows a lot of my family, and she is always there for me, no matter what. She is sort of an aunt to me.”
Thank you so much for your time, Abi. We hear there is a certain university in Texas awaiting your arrival. Hook ‘em Horns!
