There was a time and place where it has been rough for her, but she managed to persevere it all and tried to enjoy the best of it. Holganza said, “Even though it was tough at some point, I tried my best to make the best of it. I pushed myself hard to accomplish the things that needed to be done, and put up a good attitude through the bad situations even when it was difficult. The things that are going to be hard is not being able to see everyone daily for so long. I felt like it was too soon to end my senior year. Time flew by really quick come to think of it. As a senior, the biggest challenge that I had to face was my mom passing away with cancer. It was a tough situation for me to go through because now I know she is not alive anymore, but she is in a better place now. I will always miss and think of her. Even though she is not here, she will always be by my side, watching me. I guess from what I have learned as a senior is always make your moments count because you never know what you could lose. When I take a step on that graduation ceremony, I will be thinking of all the moments I had in high school and my mother. When I graduate, I will miss everything.” The other thing she we will also miss are the fun times at high school. She will miss the proms she has spent with her boyfriend, assemblies that school scheduled, and other activities. Holganza said, “I am proud of myself that I have gotten myself this far. Even though my mom may not be here, I know that she will always be proud of me, including my dad.”
