Seniors win national Hispanic scholar award

Three of the best and brightest students won the National Hispanic Recognition Program award.

Seniors Paola Balentine, Gabriel Hernandez, this year’s valedictorian, and Joshua Garza are these deserving winners.

“This program is to recognize Hispanic students that excel in academics,” Hernandez said.

Students must take the PSAT during their junior year and have a 3.0 or higher GPA to qualify for the NHRP.

According to collegebord.com NHRP honors about 5,000 students across the country a year. Students do not receive compensation for winning but it is an academic achievement.

Well there isn’t much to say about me except I’m a strange junior who loves to be around outgoing people, because I’m not. As weird as it sounds I do like to be with my family, and my best friend is my mom. Even though I don’t say much, I’m always thinking about what others are saying and forming my own opinions. I love to hear others’ opinions about controversial topics, which is why I think I could make a good writer. I like to think I’m mature for my age. Sometimes I “know” what I want to do when I grow up but I really don’t. I also hate cats, homework and interacting with strangers. I love Takis, reading about anything and everything and watching Netflix 24/7.
