Busy life, activities keep her on her toes

Lauren Villarreal

Lauren Villarreal, an eighth-grader at Cinco Ranch Junior High, has many scholastic awards under her belt and spends her free time volunteering at her church and dancing at Ballet Forte, a pre-professional ballet company. Lauren’s fondest memory is going on annual family vacations to “cool places like Hawaii, Canada and the Bahamas.” What three things can Lauren not live without? Her family, candy and the iPhone 5.
