Nereyda Salazar is a junior involved in UIL, the Texas Association of Future Educators, and Mu Alpha Theta.
Since third grade, Nereyda has been involved in UIL. Her friends encouraged her to join TAFE and Mu Alpha Theta.
“I was unsure about joining, but once I saw my friends enjoying these clubs and organizations, I decided. I decided to join and try it out,” Salazar said.
‘To manage extracurricular activities, Salazar completes her daily schoolwork.’ Salazar has afternoon time to dedicate to these clubs if she finishes all her work during school time.
“I stay after school for UIL, and when students need help with their math class, I help them. As a Mu Alpha Theta member, I help students understand their assignments better,” Salazar said.
For the Texas Association of Future Educators, Salazar has competitions she is dedicated to and prepares for.
“For TAFE, I’ve been staying on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to complete my project so that I can be ready by the time the competition comes along.” “I have Thursday and Friday afternoons free to work on my high school and dual enrollment assignments to pass all my classes,” Salazar said.
