Senior Alex Rocha can often be found shopping with friends when she is not at WEGO, but she has big dreams for travel. Although Alex has lived in West Chicago her entire life, if she could live anywhere, she would go outside of the country to places such as Canada and Spain. After she is done with high school, Alex would like to become a teacher; she finds teaching fascinating because she likes helping others learn new things, and would love to continue her journey down that path.
