Sun Scholar 2007: Foreign Language

Princes Lopez

Princes Lopez said she enjoys her subject area because, no matter where she goes, Spanish is being spoken. She said she feels privileged to understand what other people are trying to say and that class allows her to show respect by speaking Spanish properly.

Her Spanish teacher at Cibola High School, Blanca Murrieta, said Lopez is one of her most motivated students and that she values the importance of being literate in both English and Spanish.

Lopez was a volunteer for the 2006 Florida Special Olympics in Miami, a Heroes Club member and a volunteer teacher's helper at her church. She is the daughter of Maximino and Hortencia Lopez.

She plans to attend college right after high school and earn a bachelor's degree in human resources and management.
