Rolando Araujo
Follow messageUC Santa Barbara Class of 2013
LOS ANGELES, CA
My name is Rolando, and I'm a very energetic type of person... in other words I don't like staying still for very long because I will go crazy. I also love music and am proud to be Salvadorian! My basic interests are science and biology, I love nature and the study of it, and science has always fascinated me. My main goal right now is to get accepted to as many scholarships as I can. I am also very happy to announce myself as a U.C. Santa Barbara Gaucho! :). I am also very interested in the arts, and I don't mind going to a museum now and then either
