Hi, my name is Taylor Veracruz. I am a senior and this is my second year in Newspaper. My goal this year for newspaper is to improve my writing skills and contribute to the Newspaper team.

Besides these two classes, I am also a varsity cheerleader. I have cheered for nine years and this is my tenth. I enjoy school cheer because I love supporting the boys and keeping school spirit alive.

Something interesting about me is my love for drag racing. I have been around racing since I was born. My dad started racing when he was only 16 years old. This is something my whole family does together, when my dad goes, we all go. This is one of my favorite hobbies because I love being with my family, the drag racing environment and the rush I get when watching my dad race down the track.

My plan after high school is to go to Tarleton or Texas Woman’s University to become a Pediatric Oncology Nurse.
