Welcome, Ariel!
Graduate Assistant Ariel Romero is a 23-year-old wanting to make the world a better place. Searching for love, good art, sound doctrine, and free food.
Three Weird Questions:
What would the title of your autobiography be?
“I’m Not the Artist, I’m the Canvas: or It’s Pronounced R-E-L”
If a genie gave you a wish, what would you wish for?
That people would learn to use their hearts to love and be loved, instead of hate. That or an iPad Pro. Haha.
If you could be any superhero/comic book character, whom would you be and why?
Superman! It might be a cliché to pick him. But I think it would be so much fun to be able to fly, have super speed, and help people in the process. What more could you ask for?!
I organize shapes, pick colors, arrange words and occasionally take pictures. Constantly learning.
