Aaliyah Chavez, the Class of 2025's No. 1 recruit, reshared her mother's Instagram story. Her mother, Andrea Chavez, frequently posts about her family, including her two daughters Bel'A and Aaliyah Chavez and her husband Sonny Chavez.
Andrea shared a video of her driving 18-year-old Aaliyah to school on her birthday. While dropping her off, Andrea tells her daughter to have a good day, in a fun teasing way, to which Aaliyah replies with just one word: "All right."
"When she's 18 but still lets you take her to school for your birthday," Andrea captioned her story.

Andrea Chavez's heartfelt birthday wish for Aaliyah Chavez
The No. 1 recruit turned 18 on Nov. 20 and her mother took to Instagram to share a special wish for her.
"Being a mom is a full-time job, but the one I loved the most... especially with a wonderful daughter like you. It's a job that I hoped would always last, and yet, it all went by too fast. From the first time you talked, to the first time you walked. Those first tender years, full of smiles and tears, they all mean so much," she wrote.
"So many memories I will always carry in my heart of the little girl I nurtured and raised into the beautiful young woman you are today. I am so proud to be your mom."
Chavez is yet to decide on her collegiate career. Which program do you think we will see the Lubbock, Texas native play for?
