That's not all. This Harlingen High School senior is also the vice-president of a Christian club at her school.
She says leading so many different people has taught her a lot.
"I've grown a lot as a leader. I would say being able to take in people's opinions and being able to learn from them and hearing other people's voices when they don't feel heard," Cavazos said.
But Cavazos isn't just a leader on campus, she also leads on the volleyball court as captain.
"One of the biggest things that I think I took away was learning how to face adversity and challenges and really take them in and grow as a person and a leader, a captain, and move on and move forward and continue to push my teammates to be the best that they can be," Cavazos said.
While juggling all her activities isn't easy, Cavazos still finds time to help others. She has over 270 hours of community service.
