Amparo Mercado : University of California, Santa Barbara
I would like to think of myself as a fun, laid back but responsible person. I try not to stress myself about things, but when it comes down to crunch time, I throw myself into work mode. I have been involved in both tennis and track & field since I was a freshman, and I have truly enjoyed participating in them. I would like to thank my family--my parents, for supporting me and providing for me, and my siblings for encouraging me to do my best in school. Finally, I’d like to thank the NAC staff. I advise the Class of 2010 to manage your time, don’t bite off more than you can chew, and try not to procrastinate.
