Sarah Ramos-Gonzalez admits she’s a little rusty with the Rubik’s cube these days. When she was competing, she could finish the puzzle in just more than 20 seconds, but these days it’s more like 40 seconds.She was born in Phoenix but for some of her early grade school years, the teen and her family lived in Mexico, making English her second language.It wasn’t until she was much older that she realized she was living in an underserved community.
As a cross-country runner, she explained, ”We couldn’t even afford shirts with logos on them. We’d go to races, and we were like, 'Who are we?'" It's a good thing she knows how to hustle because Ramos-Gonzalez's proactive attitude led her to start calculus when she was a sophomore. She and a small group of others would drive to their class on a separate campus. She says they advocated to be put in a higher-level class to further their academics.
She’s part of the National Honor Society, Mock Trial, and advocacy groups for marginalized communities.One of her goals is to follow in her sister Karla’s footsteps and go to Yale.When she told friends and family she wanted to go to Yale, she replied, “They were supportive, very supportive.”We could do a whole separate story on the list of scholarships she received.Afterward, she hopes to start law school with a focus to advocate for those who are undocumented.
