Carter Canales is a finalist in the America’s Favorite Student contest, which provides students with a platform to tell their stories and inspire communities across the country. The competition highlights achievement, perseverance, responsibility and character.
Canales, visiting with KTEX-106’s Just David, said she enjoys being a student because every day is a challenge and an opportunity to understand the world better.
The grand prize winner will win $20,000, an exclusive tour of The Planetary Society in Pasadena, California with Bill Nye, and a feature in Reader’s Digest where they will share their educational journey.
Canales has been a distinguished honor roll student and AVID participant with involvement in the Anchor Club, student council and the National Junior Honor Society.
