Monica Reyes Canizales
I am 17 years old and a senior at Hug High School. I am in a CTE dual-credit class for Human and Social Services. I was born and raised in Reno, Nevada. I am studying to be either a social worker or a substance abuse counselor for young adults and adolescents in my community.
Something I want to achieve by the end of this 2025-2026 school year is to graduate and end the year off with A’s and B’s and just keep on getting better at softball. Some challenges I face are doing my homework and procrastination.
At school, I’m involved in the softball team, and this will be my third year being on the team. I enjoy playing softball and getting to be with all my teammates, who I consider my family now. I also like writing, cooking and listening to music. It motivates me to get things done.
