I gained my wings on Tuesday, May 24, 2022, in Uvalde.

Alexandria was born on Oct. 20, 2011, in Hondo to Kimberly (Mata) and Felix Rubio.

She was driven, athletic, intelligent and fun.

As a fourth-grader, her recent aspirations were to earn a softball scholarship to St. Mary's University, where she planned to major in math, before attending law school to become a lawyer.

She jumped at any opportunity to help her mom, a current student at St. Mary's, with technology-based assignments.
