Herlinda Amaya

Hello, my name is Herlinda Amaya. I am the only girl in my family and I have three older brothers. I have an orange and white cat named Kitty who I love very much. I love hiking at McKinney State Park in Austin, Texas. The trails are long and wooded, and my favorite part is that at the end of the hikes you can refresh by jumping off a cliff into a pool of fresh water. I enjoy cold and rainy weather more than summer days. I love listening to music and discovering new songs.

I am currently a senior at Weslaco East High School. I am a member of the varsity volleyball team and wrestling team. I am also in the National Honor Society and treasurer of the Kats Club. I am a hardworking, focused, and driven individual. I plan to make as many memories as possible with my best friends these last six months before we all start leaving for college.

After high school, I hope to attend St. Edwards University and major in education. I hope to be an elementary school teacher and instill in my future students a love for learning at an early age. I am excited for what this last year of high school has to offer and for the memories that I will remember forever.
