A Mission high school graduate, Alejos always had a passion for art. She claims she wasn’t like the normal high school but knew what she wanted to do for the rest of her life had to do with her creative mind and her passion of creating art.
Alejos attends The University of Texas Pan American in hopes of earning her Masters of Arts which will lead her on her way to becoming a teacher.

it’s my treasure.”
