You know the type of person who just lights up a room just by entering it? Well, that’s senior Zina Alvarado.

A bubbly, energetic gal of 17, Alvarado grew up in the city of  Moreno Valley. Alvarado’s personality just pops right out at you thanks to her being such a joyful, enthusiastic person. Having a bad day? Just have a conversation with Alvarado and she will easily change that in a matter of seconds!

Alvarado is a senior at Colton High School who is also a great addition on the girl’s basketball team. She was also involved in Key Club last year, and is currently trying to get back in. She enjoys attending Colton High School because it’s a calm and peaceful environment. CHS also makes her, well…happy! It’s her surroundings that always makes her happy.

One thing you’d probably never guess Alvarado was into is paintballing. You’d look at the sweet personality that she possesses and then realize paintballing was a extreme sport, doesn’t seem like the two would mix. Alvarado makes trips with her brothers when ever she can get time on her side and gear up for some fun out in the middle of nowhere. She and her siblings don’t attend a paintball range like many people, but they bring one of the most dullest places to life with the colors of splattered paintballs.

In the next few years, she plans to attend the UC Riverside and study biology, and also science to become a cardiologist. It sure seems that Alvarado has her goals set.

Everyday that goes by, Alvarado wakes up in the morning wanting to keep succeeding and moving forward in life to complete her goals and to make herself, friends, and family happy! Her friends and family are what make her today, and today she is succeeding! She is the type of person everyone should aspire to be.

If you see her around campus, you’ll know it–she’s the laughing, bubbling, smiling Yellowjacket you see everywhere!
