I am Gabriel Romero-Raas, a well-rounded individual, member of the National Society of High School Scholars, with honors courses. As I embark on the next chapter of my journey, I seek to contribute my passion, dedication, and skills to a college community that values both academic excellence and athletic prowess. I have played Soccer for club and my schools teams for the last 10 years. This season play for my school's St. Thomas varsity soccer team, and we won the regional championship. I also spend time volunteering time organizing food to people in need and cleaning garden beds for gardening to provide access to fresh produce to local communities with organizations like the Houston food bank, the Food Pantry distribution at MESA Outreach and Urban Garden Restoration.
