Accomplishments Most Proud Of: “One of my accomplishments I am most proud of is winning a Nevada State Championship with my Green Valley High School soccer team. That is one of the highlights of my high school years. I am also proud of maintaining a perfect GPA through high school. I am a student athlete and I take both parts of that very seriously.”
Erika is Stronger and Wiser Because: “Dealing with the death of my grandpa, my cousin and my aunt has definitely made me the strong person I am today. Family death is definitely something that makes you appreciate the life that you are given because you never know what will happen. Life can be taken away from you as easy as it was given to you.”
Improving Student Life: “I think that more kids should be involved in some club, sport or activity at high school. It would be a great idea to make it mandatory for at least one year, and if they didn’t like it, then they would not have to participate again. This would help kids meet new people and make new friends.”
Erika is Successful Because: “I believe the fact that I have a drive and determination to be the best student, athlete, friend and person is what makes me successful. I will work hard to achieve something that I know I can. I like to strive for greatness and working hard is how I get there.”
