Alexandra Ramirez is a junior at Jimmy Carter Early College High School. She is involved in the Student Council, Texas Association of Future Educators (TAFE), University Interscholastic League (UIL), and the Rubies drill team at Palmview High School.
Dancing has been a significant part of Ramirez’s life since childhood. Her mother took her to her first dance class when she was five years old, and she has loved it ever since.
“I dance because I love the feeling I get when I’m about to perform in front of a crowd. There are activities like baseball, art, and reading, but for me, it’s dance. I get to express myself without even saying a word,” Ramirez said.
Since the age of five, Ramirez has been dedicated to dancing. She participated in Mini Rubies in elementary school and Junior Rubies in middle school. Now, she is in her third year with the Palmview High School Rubies drill team.
“My motivation is seeing the little girls at football games with the brightest smiles, saying they want to be like me when they grow up,” Ramirez said.
