Favorite part of high school experience: My favorite part has been everything involved within sports especially the all-star game and creating memories in and out of the classroom that I will remember forever. Also, the trip to NASA in systems go is one of my favorite memories from high school.

Biggest positive influences: I appreciate my parents the most, they have shaped me into the person I have become and supported my decisions while still being there for me during the bad ones. I’ve always been thankful of the help coaches give me and I’ve known many different coaches throughout the years in which I have taken something from each one.

Favorite teacher: My favorite teacher at Jal High was Mr. Estrada. I did not have him much but when I did the class would be very lively.

Plans after high school: I plan on graduating from Texas Tech and starting my own business.

Parents: Shena and David Gaytan

Advice to younger students: My advice to younger students is to make their own decisions. You know what is best for you and should not let anyone influence the things you do throughout high school. Also, the best memories are made by doing all the electives you can during the years.
