ROTARY SPOTLIGHT
Shelbi Romo
I have 3 wonderful children, Avery 7, Aiden 4, and Abraham 3, but not to forget my animal children 3 chickens and my dog Luna. So as you can imagine my heart and my hands are full 24/7. I have worked at ETMC EMS/UT Health East Texas EMS for almost 6 years now. I love my job and the people I work with. Unless you have worked as a First Responder it is hard to imagine what it is like to serve your community in that way.
I go to church at Rise Again Baptist Church where my grandfather is the preacher and my dad is the youth minister. It has been this way since I was a child so it's as if serving my community is in my blood. On the weekends I enjoy being outside with my kiddos or working in my garden.
Something I would like to do in this year that I have never done would be to not lose a tube of chapstick within the first week of opening it. JK! lol I would really like to travel more. I have realized the last few months that making memories and experiences with the people you love is so much more important than having materialistic items, and I would really like to focus more on that.
