Hello! My name is Brenda Linares, I am a senior here at Pioneer Valley. I am happy to be part of the PVHS Panther Tales. This organization has brought me many opportunities to meet new people. I enjoy every aspect of it including the interaction with all my fellow classmates and everyone I meet along the way during events. I love helping out my community in every way that I can. Throughout my high school career I have been in Link Crew, Key Club, Hero Club, EAOP, ETS, Student Council, and currently I hold the position of vice president in SHARE Club. In this club we spread awareness for domestic violence in our community. Throughout high school I have accumulated over 650 hours of community service. Being active in school and out is very important to me. School is not just about academics but building relationships that can last forever. One of the best decisions in my life was joining my high school volleyball team. I have played this sport for five seasons and has helped me grow stronger not only physically but mentally. I met so many wonderful individuals that I can still call my teammates. I am striving to attend college this upcoming fall and pursue a degree in education. One day I hope to become an elementary teacher. My ultimate goal is to make every child feel welcomed and appreciated in my class.
