Christy Avila, a sophomore, is on the staff of The Mirror, the award-winning student newspaper and website at Van Nuys High School in Los Angeles. For fun, hangs out with her friends, plays football and basketball, and goes on her phone. She tries to keep up with her grades. Her plans are to go to college and begin working maybe part-time to help her dad pay for her college expenses. She  hopes to attend CSUN or NYU and wants to become either a professional basketball player, lawyer or auto mechanic. She has watched all of the “Scream” movies, which she thinks is a unique movie franchise that keeps the audience entertained. When she’s alone she listens to R&B, Spanish music and oldies.
