THE TOP 10 graduating Los Lunas High School seniors all plan to attend college in the fall, except Danayara Flores, who has joined the U.S. Army. Most of the students will attend universities in New Mexico.
The Los Lunas High School Top 10 graduating seniors are looking forward to a little summer fun before getting moved into college dorms and preparing to enter the universities they plan to attend. Their ideas are to enjoy some horseback riding, playing football, traveling, doing artwork, playing music, dancing, practicing gymnastics, spending time with family and hanging out with friends. A group of us have a fitness club, and we go run, said Ted Olguin. We like to play KGB, said Rikki Hall. KGB is a game of detective work where runners set off for a destination and seekers try to find them en route. The seekers know where the destination is, they just have to try to figure out which way the runners will go, the students said. The Math League, which includes Samantha Lucero, Christopher Marry, Lana Ellis, Kelsae Adame, Michael Pierce and Shyanne Kapalko will
go to Las Vegas, Nev., this June for the Americas Region Math League competition. Theyll get a day to visit the sights as well. Danayara Flores will be traveling to South Carolina this summer for military training. She joined the U.S. Army. Some of the favored subjects the students enjoyed in high school are psychology, theater, video, weight lifting, art, anatomy, FFA and agriculture, chemistry, math and engineering classes. Ten seniors enjoyed a trip to England this year during spring break. They said the people in London were beautifully dressed. They also took a ferry to Ireland, spending about a week abroad. They were really impressed with European culture, and were deeply affected by their visit, they said. I think next year, Im going to move to Spain to go to school, said Alexandra Yebra. I love being overseas. Last year, the senior trip took students to Italy. If a genie granted them a career wish, these students would ask to be professional football players, cardiac surgeons, psychiatrists, mechanical or nucle-
ar engineers, pediatricians and even president of the United States. One student said she wanted to be a doctor in Africa, and Michael Pierce said he wants to be a lawyer. He plans to attend the University of New Mexico. I want to be a rock star, said Shyanne Kapalko and Celina Martinez. I would be an artist and travel, said Lana Ellis. A criminal defense lawyer is what Kendle Chavez wants to be, and Braulio Arrieta is interested in a career as a forensic scientist. Sierra Harland is going to the University of Pennsylvania to study to be a linguistic specialist in the FBI. Looking back on their high school years, the seniors are willing to offer younger students some perspective. Its not as hard as people think it is, said Rikki Hall. Be yourself and dont worry about what everyone else thinks, said Kapalko. Just do what you feel. The best strategies for doing well in school are to n See LLHS, Page 12

take high school seriously, because it will impact your future. Its up to you now, how you want to invest in your hopes and dreams. The seniors said it is important to get assignments in on time and study for tests, and that it really helps to be organized and use a planner to help remember important tests and activities. Put yourself out there, because everything matters, said Harland. Getting information about college and scholarships early on will help to set goals and secure a means to accomplish them. Take it one step at a time, said Katherine Benavidez. Dont overwhelm yourself. And dont quit, said Yesenia Salcido. Life is only going to be harder if you quit, Harland added. Just get it done; its not that hard, said Jeremiah Danielson. Its not really hard to end up being in the Top 10 percent if you just stick to what you are doing and keep your
