Next stop: Destination Homecoming! Congratulations to the 40th Fresno Christian Homecoming candidates. Voted in by their peers, The Feather presents the Junior princess nominees Mayalina Cortez, Rachel Garcia and Olivia Guerrero. The big event will happen Friday, Sept. 26. Princesses are introduced at 5:30 p.m. before kickoff at 6, and winners will be crowned at halftime. 

Mayalina Cortez

Cortez joined Fresno Christian in the 7th grade. If she could have one high school do-over, it would be her freshman year. If she could sing a duet with anyone, it would be Alex Warren. She considers the most important quality in a mate to be their empathy. Her favorite bible verse is Colossians 3:2 “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.”

If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why?

To have spider powers because I love Spider-Man, and it would be amazing to swing everywhere.

#1 on your adventure bucket list?

Snorkeling in Fiji.

If you could have dinner with any person alive in the world today, who would it be? Why?

Jesus, because he’s cool, and I can ask about miracles that maybe weren’t recorded.

Rachel Garcia

Garcia came to Fresno Christian in the 6th grade. If given the option to sing or dance, Garcia would rather sing since she already does it every other week at chapel. Her #1 on her adventure bucket list would be paddleboarding in the Swiss Alps. If she could have one wish granted to her, it would be to be really good at surfing. Garcia’s personal hero is Jesus, and her dream destination is Venice, Italy.

If you had a million dollars, what would you buy?

A lot of land in Hawaii to start a little farm.

What is the most important quality in a mate?

Being able to cook because I can only make spaghetti.

If you could have one high school do-over, what would that be?

To lock in on chemistry.

Olivia Guerrero

Olivia Guerrero joined Fresno Christian in the 5th grade. If she were given the option to have one high school do-over, she would have signed up for tennis her freshman year. Three words that describe Guerrero would be loud, outgoing, and loving. If she could eat at only one fast food restaurant for life, it would be Butterfish. If she could have any superpower, she would want to have the ability to fly so she could go anywhere.

Would you rather sing or dance in front of people? Why?

Dance because then people wouldn’t have to hear my awful voice.

If you could have one wish granted to you, what would it be?

To get an A+ on every test, because that’s not the reality for me.

If you could sing a duet with anyone, who would it be?

Michael Jackson.
