“My accomplishment is making it to become a senior,” Timber said. 

Timber has 3 siblings, Tad, Toy, and Rylan. She started school in Dimmit, but now Timber is a student here at Springlake-Earth High School. 

“I began coming to school here when I was a freshman,” Timber said. 

As Timber reflects on her past now she can say she is glad she came to S-E. 

“I needed a fresh start, I have better friends here,” Timber said. “I have a better future here.”

A friend of Timber spoke on how they would describe her. 

“She is super energetic and positive,” senior Kimberly Cruz said. 

Timber has big plans after she graduates high school that came from being inspired by her family members. 

“I want to go to college to be a registered nurse and then transfer to Covenant in Lubbock,” Timber said.  “I have always wanted to help people. I have some family members that work in the nursing field, so they inspired me to do the same.” 

Teacher Elizabeth Roman talked about her experiences with Timber.

“You can rely on her to do something because she will do it,” Mrs. Roman said. 

Timber explained what she could see herself doing in 10 years. 

“I hope to be living in Lubbock and doing the career I have always wanted to do, and maybe with a family,” Timber said. 

I have always wanted to help people. I have some family members that work in the nursing field, so they inspired me to do the same.

When Timber leaves S-E she will miss and always remember certain things. 

“I probably will miss the kids the most, just seeing everyone every day,” Timber said. “That is my whole life you know; I have been doing this for 12 years now.” 

She also has several hobbies. 

“I like to hang out with some friends, work, watch Netflix, sleep, and hang out with some family,” Timber said. 

Every day after school Timber goes to work. 

“I work at Mr. Burger,” Timber said.  “I am a cashier, I take orders, make drinks, fill refills, and lots of other stuff so come buy some food!”

She is looking forward to graduation.

“I am excited to graduate,” Timber said. “I want to go out and live my life finally.” 

Timber has also wanted to travel.

“I am excited to see the world,” Timber said. “If I go anywhere, I will go to Hawaii.”
