Victoria Nunez is an energetic, straight forward, and assertive young lady.  She has been a cheerleader at QGHS the past two years and really enjoys the camaraderie of her teammates.

When it comes to managing academics and cheerleading it all comes down to procrastination.  Do not procrastinate, get your assignments done on time, spread out the work, stay organized and manage your time efficiently, said Victoria.  School is a priority and is always first on my list to get accomplished.

When it comes to working out she pretty much relies upon cheerleading practice for stretching and working hard perfecting the cheer routines.  However, she does volunteer at a cheer gym for special needs kids.  Victoria is assigned a little girl named Natalie and she helps this youngster work through her routines which includes dance and stunts.  I get a lot of personal satisfaction from watching and assisting these kids improve and gain confidence, said Victoria.

What motivates and inspires Victoria is her family.  She wants to do good things and do the right thing.  I don’t want to let my family down, so my motivation is to make them proud, she said. Secondly, what motivates me as a cheerleader are my teammates, we have a very encouraging and positive atmosphere on our team.

After graduation she plans on attending Wingate University and major in the sciences or in nursing.  She wants to make a career in the medical field and will seriously consider becoming a Physician’s Assistant after graduation from college.
