Maverick Wall of Fame

CC Winn High School has created a Wall of Fame, where Maverick Alumni are featured.
These alumni send words of wisdom to the Mavericks and explain their journey.
Monday, September 17th, Stephanie Gonzalez was the first Maverick featured on the Wall of Fame.
Her words resonated with the students and WHS is proud to call her a Maverick!

Some advice I would give to High School students is to remember that life is a marathon not a sprint so don’t forget to enjoy the moments in front of you.
Chase your dreams and fight for them.
Yes, I know this may sound repetitive and might have already received this advice but you don’t realize how important it is to believe in yourself  until you have faced failure.
Life is a continuous lesson with obstacles and challenges. Throughout this journey, I have learned is that growth is a process which does not stop after you obtain a degree.
You must always be moving forward.
 If you ever feel self-doubt and uncertainty, just remember that there are no secrets to success; it is simply the result of preparation, hard work and learning from failure.
So be bold, stay humble and don’t forget to tell yourself that you are capable of anything!  
The only person that can hold you back is yourself.  
See you at the top!

Go Mavericks!
