THE TOP 10 LOS LUNAS High School senior graduates are, in front, from left, Aubrianna Kinghorn, Anna Herrera, Leandra Trujillo, Sarahi Boyso and Hannah Torres; middle, from left, Cortney Reed, Melissa Gamez and Sam Martin; in back, from left, Mariah Gallegos and Jordan Ulibarri-Sanchez.
Los Lunas The top 10 Los Lunas High School seniors attribute their academic success to strong family support and their parents involvement. It motivated them to make their parents proud. A couple of the students come from families where everyone attended good colleges, and they want to follow in their footsteps. Other students received their encouragement in families without higher education. Im the first generation of my family thats actually going to go to college, said Sarahi Boyso. So, even being here is an honor. It just makes me want to strive to be a better person. Her ambition is to become a pediatric cardiologist,
eventually working in Brazil. It might be a surprise to learn that these A students have not been without insecurities and fears. They had to work at building self-confidence by venturing outside their comfort zones to try a sport, some type of art, a class, or by participating in a school club. Its OK to fail, said senior Anna Herrera. If youre not good at it, oh well. At least you tried. Live by no regrets, seems to be their motto. Hannah Torres had never been a cheerleader before high school, but she went for it anyway. When I first tried out, I was so scared, because I didnt know anything, Torres said. Im like really uncoordinated, and I was really clumsy, but I got on the team, and honestly, Ive been on for three years now ... It helps just to go for something. You dont know where it can lead you, and it can lead you to success. She plans to be a plastic surgeon and anesthesiologist. Affirming you can do it, then going for it, propelled
them to where they are now. They were involved in sports, the National Honor Society, student council, school clubs and community service. They built networks of friends as serious about school as they were who support them academically and encourage their secret dreams. You should strive for what you want to do and what makes you happy, rather than just trying to please everybody else, said Herrera. Because at the end of the day, its just you. High school may look like an eternity to incoming freshman students, but the years pass quickly, the seniors said. They stress that making the most of those years is for their own future. Make goals each year, because if you dont make goals, you dont strive for anything, said Leandra Trujillo, a budding journalist. If you find a really good

One of the bittersweet joys of parenting is that everything is temporary. Even though with each new phase in your life we find ourselves wishing it would last forever, but the next one just gets better! Where has the time gone....seems like just yesterday you were so new to our lives, and now you have grown up to be a handsome smart young man! We are so very very proud of you and what you have become and accomplished! May God bless you and always keep you safe in the journeys of life!

Talking to someone when you feel youre in over your head was very important to Sarahi Boyso, who was overwhelmed by an advanced physics course. I was stressing about it, Boyso said. It was really helpful to talk to my mom. Her mother called the principal who talked to Boysos teacher. He believed in me that I could make it, she said. And I passed that class with an A. Boyso beams. Never be afraid to ask for help, said Aubrianna Kinghorn. Dont be afraid to ask during lunch, before school, after school go get help. Helping people, especially children, is Kinghorns passion. Shes not sure what shell major in at college yet, but shes excited to start school next fall at Brigham Young University, she said. Theres probably other kids who are having the same problem, said Sam Martin, state winner of Googles sixth annual Doodle 4 Google art competition. If you ask, youll probably help others, too.
