Karilynn Cuevas-Rodriguez will graduate from Seventy-First High School. She answered these questions about his education and his future.

• What accomplishment are you most proud of or what do you want to be remembered for?

An accomplishment that I am most proud of is my singing and wrestling career here at Seventy-First High. I’ve been singing since the ninth grade, and over time my talents have grown. I love music. It is something I have always had a passion for and it’s definitely something I will continue doing. Wrestling is something I want to be remembered for; it is also something I’m proud of. I joined the wrestling program at Seventy First High in October 2021. It was different for me because I had never fully committed myself to a sport the way I did with wrestling. It was definitely a love-at-first-sight kind of thing.

• What are your plans after graduation?

After high school, I plan to attend East Carolina University to major in business and entrepreneurship as well as join the Air Force ROTC program. To further my wrestling career, I will continue to do club wrestling for ECU. … rest of story … Cityviewnc.com/stories/standout-senior-2023-karilynn-cuevas-rodriguez
