Claudia Rebora
By Kim
On Sept. 11, 1989 Alejandro and Pillar Rebora welcomed their
beautiful daughter Claudia Maria Rebora into the world. As the
eldest of three daughters Claudia was a natural born leader. With a
list of extra curricular activities that range from being the
Captain of the varsity cheer team to being the Vice President of
French Club, no one can accuse Claudia of lacking school spirit.
Growing up Claudia was the definition of a tom boy. She
was a talented soccer and softball player; she loved being outdoors
playing and excelling at any sport. Her competitive nature landed
her awards such as Most Spirited and Best Leadership Skills. Claudia
jokes of her childhood saying "Not going to lie, I was the sun in my
parents’ eyes. It was really fun being a kid. Sometimes I wish I
could go back and just hide in the laundry baskets again with my
little sissies [Pamela and Mariel Rebora]."
While she does once in a while reminisce about her child
hood there is no denying her excitement to go off to college. In the
fall of 2007 Claudia will be heading off to Colorado Boulder
University as an economics major. Despite her enthusiasm she
includes, “I’m going to miss everyone who I leave behind for
Colorado, except Joshy because he's coming to college with me! No
matter where I am though I will always be a California girl at
heart." While Claudia was raised in the area she spent her
adolescent years growing up in Hawthorne. When she was thirteen her
family relocated to the center of El Segundo. "When my parents first
told me I was moving to El Segundo I was very reluctant. Yet I've
grown to really enjoy and love this place because of all the people
I've met and the life long friends I've been able to make here."
Claudia is well known for being out going and hyper. Her
good friend Kimberly Ip says “We met the first week of freshman year
while walking from the old district buildings. She just randomly
came up to me and introduced herself. That's just the kind of person
she is." Claudia's other friends including Joshua Newsom, Rebecca
Betran, Amber Snuffer, and Emily De Cordova all contest to her
fierce loyalty. Nicknamed "Abusive" she really is the kind of person
who would defend her friends honor in any situation. With her tae
kwon do background she really is a threat to be reckoned with. No
one messes with her or her friends.
Claudia is one of
the most amazing girls I know. Without her I highly doubt that I
would have been able to survive at El Segundo High. She is a
protector of friends, a great party buddy and my best friend.
Claudia is the sister God did not give me. I know she is destined
for greatness and all of you just have to wait and see.
