Natalia Joya, a junior, shares advice to students about things she would have wanted to accomplish  before junior year like more volunteer hours. She’s been a student at WSHS since freshman year and says it’s a good way to experiment with new and healthy things.“Freshmen need to get on their feet, start looking for scholarships, and search for everything they need to graduate and have a good high school experience. Not everything is fun, Said Joya.” To her, one of the most important things to do while in high school is to do volunteer hours because there are many scholarships that are looking for that.
