Senior Spotlight: Victoria Escamilla
Victoria Rahne Escamilla, will be a 2023 graduate of South Shelby High School, is the daughter of Christina Stone and the sister of Gabriela, Elena, Caden, and Blaze Escamilla.
Her favorite activities to do with her family are watching movies, having mini concerts while playing guitar, and singing (screaming) to their favorite songs in the car.
Victoria is a member of school clubs such as FCCLA, STUCO and Environmental club. She is currently one of the two Presidents of the Environmental club. She is a preschool intern and she is also a member of the marching, pep, and concert band, high school choir, and musical theater. She also participates in vocal solo competition and auditions and performs in District Choir.
The activity that she enjoys the most is: Musical theater or marching band, because I’ve made some of the greatest friends through these activities over the four years that I’ve been in high school. I always look the most forward to these two events each year. Music in general is a huge part of my everyday life, but being a part of the musical and the marching band each year holds some of my greatest high school memories.
The class that you enjoyed the most is: Both my Comp 101 class and my Public Speaking class because Mrs. Mudd has had a huge influence on my Senior year experience not only in the classroom, but also out of it. I like that her classes challenge me, encourage me to get outside of my box, and help me improve as a writer. Mrs. Mudd’s humor is also unmatched, and I very much enjoy how entertaining it is to see her put some of the boys in place when they give her a hard time.
Outside of school, Victoria enjoys writing, reading, playing the guitar, and singing and creating her own music.
If I had one wish it would be: To be content with myself, and to be proud of the success I’ve created through my own hard work and determination.
After High School, Victoria plans to attend a college or university in the fall following her graduation. She plans to major in Early Childhood Education, participate in the offered choral or musical theater clubs, and intends to receive at least her Bachelor’s degree.
The person I admire the most is Erin Melson. Mentoring for her my sophomore year, and then interning for her the entirety of this year, she’s helped me to find the passion that I have for becoming an educator in early childhood. I admire her because she is so gentle with the children, and you can tell she really loves the work that she does. It’s inspiring to see first-hand that even on the hardest days, this job and career are worth it.
The teacher that had the most influence on me is Mr. McCoy. I always doubted my ability and success, he never did. And I’m very grateful for that. Since starting high school, I’ve gone from a scared freshman who could barely sing in just a group, to now performing confidently in musicals and auditioning for vocal solos without feeling like I’m gonna pass out. Many people do not get to know Mr. McCoy the way that all of his band and choir students get to, and because of that I don’t think many people know how big of a kind heart he has. He’s taught me over the past five or six years many lessons in music, and he’s also shared many of his own experiences with us students that’s helped us to appreciate his hard work that much more. He’s probably gonna tell me to do a band lap or something for saying this.
The one thing you will miss most about South Shelby High School is: Stepping onto the field alongside the rest of the marching band, the feelings of anxiety and excitement before opening night of the musicals, the bus rides to and from our competitions. I’m going to miss all of the people I’ve become friends with and the teachers that I’ve gotten to know over the years.
