Student Spotlight: Andrea Cerrillo, Union Colony Preparatory School

February 10, 2025

"Andrea is an excellent student whose leadership skills shine in her many extracurricular activities. She is also kind and giving, volunteering her time with several organizations." - Carrie Leffler, Principal

Activities, Clubs, and Sports

I'm involved with Key Club, Student Council, National Honor Society, and Mock Trial.

Career/College Plans

I want to go to law school and become a public defender.

Favorite Subject

My favorite subject in school is math. I haven't taken a math class since last year, but it's always been my favorite. When it comes to math, the answer is always going to be the same, but beyond that, there's almost always going to be a pattern. And, I like trying to find that pattern.

Favorite Teacher

My favorite teacher is Ms. Vigil. She has always been incredibly kind and supportive. She is the sponsor for my school's mock trial team. I don't think I would want to be a lawyer if it wasn't for her.

Hobbies

I like listening to music, crocheting, and reading.

Favorite Food and/or Restaurant

There was this restaurant named La Herradura. I used to order my favorite food, flautas, fro there, but the restaurant has since closed down.

Favorite Movie or Television Show

My favorite movie is Knives Out.

Personal Goals

This is silly, but I get distracted when I crochet, so I haven't finished a lot of projects. I just want to finish one of my bigger projects. I want to get my GPA as close to 4.0 as possible. I really just want to see if I can do it.

What Do You Like Best About Your School

I like that my school is small. I know all the people in my graduating class. Additionally, the small class size makes it so teachers can personally attend to different students.
