Emmanuel Diaz

By Summer Bryant office@madillrecord.net

Emmanuel Diaz is a senior and a first-year attendee at Madill High School. His parents are Julian Diaz and Sara Hernandez. His siblings are Yulienn, Yaretzy, Gracelyn, and Joselyn.

Diaz said his biggest challenge this year playing sports is waking up early in the mornings. His favorite memory from his baseball season has been going to Broken Bow with the team.

He said he is thankful for the coaches for their guidance and for the amazing senior year and that his mom is his greatest inspiration.

“I think my mom has inspired me in life more than anyone because she’s a strong female figure in my life,” Diaz said. “However, I am grateful for both of my parents for putting up with me and I appreciate everything they’ve done for me.”

Diaz said he is uncertain of his plans for after high school but his advice for the younger classmates is to mind your own busines in life and don’t do drugs.
