Torres does multiple things in and outside of school. She plays the trumpet in the school band. Torres said, \u201cI chose to play the trumpet because I knew it fit my personality, most trumpet players are outgoing and fun, which mostly fits my life.\u201d She said, \u201cI joined band in fifth grade and decided to stick with it in high school because it is so fun.\u201d Torres also said, \u201cMy favorite part about band is just being appreciated and needed. I also love spending time with my best friends, the people I really love which help me get through some torturous rehearsals. Band is one of the best things I have ever done.\u201d Along with band, she also plays tennis. Torres said, \u201cI have been playing tennis for two years, this will be my third season in high school.\u201d Her reasoning behind playing tennis is \u201cmy friends asked me to join with them and now I’m the only one of us who stuck with it, but it’s really fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not only does she play tennis and is in band, Torres also has two jobs, \u201cMy first job is at Jaime\u2019s Grocery, where I work as a cashier.\u201d Another one of those jobs is at Christo\u2019s. Torres said, \u201cI am a server, meaning I give people their drink orders and take their plates when they are finished.\u201d In addition to her jobs, she also participates in ten different school clubs. Torres said, \u201cI am currently a member of Future Teachers of America, Key Club, Spell Bowl, Portuguese Club, Spanish Club, National Honor Society, Sunshine Society, Chem Club, Pep Club, and Multicultural Club.\u201d Torres added, \u201cI am currently the treasurer of Multicultural Club.\u201d Torres said that her favorite club would be \u201ca tie between Key Club and National Honor Society because I love doing community service.\u201d Being involved in so many things can be stressful, but having a schedule is helpful. \u201cI try to do my homework right after school, go to practice, then go to work after practice. After work, I finish my homework, shower, and eat. I usually go to bed by 1 A.M. so it’s not too bad. I try to prioritize and that usually helps me manage my stress, it definitely decreases my stress a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n

Torres is also involved in summer activities such as \u201cwork, play some tennis, attend band camp, try to watch some baseball games and hang out with my family.\u201d She also added, \u201cI do volunteer service, go on field trips, and organize activities for clubs.\u201d To do all of this Torres found her own way to get inspiration. Inspiration can help do numerous things Torres said, \u201cI inspired myself to do all these activities because I want to get accepted into Notre Dame.\u201d She also said, \u201cMy role models are my parents because they have taught me everything and are super wise.\u201d In the future, Torres said, \u201cI plan on majoring in business and minoring in Spanish. I also want to look into some law or medicine, I am still trying to decide.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
