About
My name is Heaven Salinas I am currently 19 years old, and I am from San Antonio, Texas. I was raised by a single mother, and growing up I learned many life lessons like how to be determined and to not take anything for granted. I am the oldest of 4 siblings. I chose West Texas A&M because it was close to home, I have a strong bond with my family, so being close was the most reasonable thing to do!
