What aspects of Trinity's culture or community did you find most supportive or challenging?

I love the culture of Trinity. Since it's a small community, even people I don't talk to I’m close to. I love that we are very connected and close to one another. On top of that, I love the student support that most of the sports get. Though we are not always the best, I love going to a volleyball or football game and cheering on my peers.

Have you had any mentors or teachers who made a significant impact on you?

Mrs. D., AKA Mrs. Dueñas has had the biggest impact. Starting junior year, I would usually spend my study hall period in her class. At first, I was kind of quiet but then slowly I started becoming more and more familiar with her and now during my senior year, I would say I've never been closer to a teacher. If anything, you could say that she’s like a second mom and I appreciate everything she does for the school and community as well.

Looking back at your high school years, which academic subject or course had the most impact on you and why?

Pre cal has impacted me the most out of all four years here because it taught me to be more disciplined with my time, and I learned how to manage it with the countless graphs and functions that we had to draw. It also taught me how to exceed in learning by genuinely applying my work ethic to the class.

What is one of your favorite memories from your time at Trinity?

On the Freshman trip to New Mexico I found myself with five other boys inside a hostel while the girls got a 5-star hotel. But my favorite thing was when my group got locked out of our room and we came up with an elaborate plan to use a potato peeler to cut the film off of the window and climb back inside. Just as we were about to start our plan, another classmate unlocked the door and we figured out it wasn’t even our room, and we weren't locked out at all.
