Nicolas Morales

Summary

My name is Nicolas Morales. I was born and raised in Laredo, TX, for 19 years. I attended United High School and graduated as part of the class of 2019. I moved to San Antonio shortly after to attend the University of Texas at San Antonio in the fall of 2019. I graduated in June 2025 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music. I have always had a passionate interest in both music and being a teaching role model. Teachers are some of the most important individuals in our society, serving as the pillars of good morals and guiding our youth to the future. My dream has always been to make our world a better place, and what better place to start than to be a music teacher.
