The July Rey Azteca Student of the Month is Emilia Falcon, a rising Senior at Villa Maria Academy High School (VMAHS). Emilia received a Certificate of Achievement to recognize how she demonstrates Excellence in Service to many communities, along with a Gift Card from Rey Azteca, the Sponsor of this program.
Emilia participates in indoor track and softball at VMAHS, and is on the Executive Board for Blue and White, the Athletic and Spirit organization at Villa that handles the school pep rallies and other events. She also participates in the school’s broadcasting platform – Good Morning Villa and is a board member of Quill and Scroll, the school’s publication.
Emilia plays travel softball year round for a team out of West Chester – Wildfire Fastpitch, because softball is one of her true passions. She’s a friend to all of the IHM Sisters, and loves hanging out with them at Camilla Hall.
When she was younger, Emilia had to deal with the challenges of having Epilepsy. Fortunately she no longer struggles with that. While attending VMAHS, Emilia has greatly matured, according to her mom Laurie Falcon, and is now even more outgoing, eager to learn, willing to help others and also try new things. Laurie also shared that Emilia “Has an intense passion and caring for her family and friends. She is a super empathetic person and loves hard!”
In the future, Emilia wants to go to school to become a nurse, probably a Labor and Delivery nurse. You are a true inspiration Emilia! Thanks for sharing a little bit about yourself with us at Friends & Neighbors magazine.
