Vania Campos, Wood River High School senior, moved to the Wood River Valley during her seventh-grade year. When she was 4 years old, Campos and her family moved from Anaheim, Calif., to Shoshone. From there, her family has moved to Twin Falls, and now lives in the Valley.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have attended a lot of schools already,\u201d Campos said. \u201cI really enjoy attending school here, though.\u201d<\/p>\n

Campos has maintained a steady course load throughout her high school career by taking two Advance Placement classes a year. This year, she is taking AP Government and AP Literature.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile I do find AP Government really interesting, my favorite class right now is probably War and Modern World,\u201d Campos said.<\/p>\n

War and Modern World was introduced to WRHS last year. The class covers tactics and strategies used during historical wars.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll my other classes require me to think so hard,\u201d Campos said. \u201cIn War and Modern World, I just get to sit back and be amazed by all the interesting strategies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Campos is also involved in a wide spectrum of clubs, including Amnesty International, Business Professionals of America, Nosotros United, Fashion Club, National Honor Society and Journalism.<\/p>\n

She is co-president of the Amnesty International club\u2014a group of students that works to understand human rights more and advocate for those suffering from human rights abuses. She was elected this year, from vice president to president, of the Journalism Club.<\/p>\n

\u201cJournalism used to be a class but there weren\u2019t enough students to sustain it,\u201d Campos said. \u201cIt\u2019s different now that we work outside of school hours, but I really like doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n

She is also vice president of a new club founded this year: Fashion Club.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Fashion Club, we want to talk about style,\u201d Campos said. \u201cFor example, we\u2019d like to ask people how they think their clothes speak about them as a person.\u201d<\/p>\n

With that information, Campos and the Fashion Club want to create a video about style and how it speaks about a person.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnother thing we hope to do with Fashion Club is to raise money or collect clothing for a place in Boise that outfits women with professional clothing for interviews if they cannot afford them,\u201d Campos said.<\/p>\n

Campos is also involved in the First Baptist Church in Bellevue, where her father is the pastor.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy parents are the most inspiring people to me,\u201d Campos said. \u201cThey\u2019ve always worked so hard to give [my siblings and me] a good life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Upon graduating this spring, Campos hopes to go to college for a degree in journalism.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to be a book editor,\u201d Campos said. \u201cMy personal project was to write a book and I really liked that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Campos\u2019s book is called \u201cChasing Fairytales.\u201d The book is about a young boy and girl that both had difficult childhoods. The two meet, become friends and are inspired and encouraged through that friendship.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t want the story to end that they are boyfriend and girlfriend,\u201d Campos said. \u201cBecause it doesn\u2019t always have to end that way; there are always choices.\u201d<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s the message Campos said she hopes to communicate through her relationships and writing: You always have a choice.<\/p>\n
