Elizabeth Rueda is 18 years old and a senior at Silverton High School. She is involved in many extra-curricular activities, which include National Honor Society, Connections, Link Crew, Interact Club, and Silver Masked Thespian Society.
“I like being part of the connections team and Link Crew, because I can help students feel comfortable at school, especially if they’re new,” Rueda said. She hopes that when continuing on to college she can be a part of a club that does the same thing.
Along with the school related activities, Elizabeth is also very spiritually active. She is a Christians and is developing her, “relationship with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” Rueda has big expectations for herself, and plans on attending college next year. She is currently looking into studying social work as her major in college, because she likes people, and working with them.
Elizabeth loves music, but not the average music you hear on the mainstream radio every day. She loves to have a good laugh, and believes in the power that making others laugh can have on one’s life. Her family and friends mean everything to her; she’s do anything for them.
“They’ve been there for me when I needed them most, and I can’t thanks them enough”, Rueda said.
Elizabeth is a very outgoing person, and loves meeting new people. One day, she hopes to help change the lives in “whatever way God wills me to.” On weekends you will find her at any of the Mission of Hope outreach distribution sites, helping distribute food to those who are hungry.
