ABOUT Rossana
University of Central Florida, Junior
My college is awesome because…
I believe in diversity. Our country is unique in that we pride ourselves for our ability to accept others and create a community, no matter what. The Knights are an incredible group of people, our school has come together through thick and thin. No one is left behind or left out, our community always comes first and being one of the largest schools in the nation, that says a lot. I take pride in being a part of one of the most amazing communities this country has to offer.
I really hate…
double standards. I don’t believe it is ever okay for one person to decide what is right and what is wrong, especially when it comes to race, ethnicity, and gender. Everyone is unique in that they are entitled to their personalities, no one should ever try to change or direct that.
I major in…
Psychology and minor in Criminal Justice. I hope to take that into a government field and try to make a difference in this country to prevent horrible crimes before they occur.
My hometown is awesome because…
it’s close to the beach, but I especially love the people who live there. All of my closest friends that I have gone through school with are always there to cheer me up and keep me busy.
At school, you can find me…
in Delta Zeta. I joined in Spring of 2015 and have consistently held positions within the sorority. I’m a part of the Knight-Thon rage at UCF, where we spend all year raising money for Children’s Miracle Network. I spent my sophomore year as one of Delta Zeta’s team captains and raised over $28,000 as a team, and over $1,000,000 as a university.
My ideal first date would be…
super casual, going for pizza or ice cream and just getting to know the person.
My favorite late night study snack is definitely…
Sour Patch Kids; they keep me sane.
If I had 24 hours left to live, I would…
spend that time with my friends and family, the people I love the most, out on the beach or just enjoying each other’s company.
If I could change one thing about the world, it would be…
the hate. We focus so much on how much we hate everything, from the morning traffic to our jobs, to even tiny things like a broken charger. If we were to focus on the positivity that surrounds us constantly rather than the irrelevant negative thoughts, our world would be a better place.
If my high school self could talk to me now, she would say…
that I have definitely changed, that I’ve matured in ways I never thought I would, and that I am on the right track to becoming the person, woman, wife, mom, friend, and daughter that I have always wanted to be. I may not be there yet, but I’m on the right path.
