Aaron J. Rojas-Avila is a sophomore in the International Baccalaureate program at Coral Gables Senior High. Aaron is enthusiastic to be returning for a second year in CavsConnect as his writing skills and abilities continue to evolve. Aside from being a part of the CavsConnect family, he enjoys sipping a cup of varie-tea in different flavors, feeding his pond fish, Coralius, as it helps his inner tranquili-tea and reading about current news around the world. This year, Aaron plans to continue being a member of the French Honor Society and the International Baccalaureate Honor Society alongside being interested in joining Gables Interact and Key Club. While Aaron is quite unsure of what specific major he should go into, he is pretty confident that his career will lie somewhere in the business field as he is quite passionate about it. As Aaron moves forward with his remarkable Gables experience so far, he would love to instill that same cup of tea experience he recalls as a freshman towards the newer students.
