Untitled - Saint George School

28 / AGORA
Saint George School is filled
with students of many talents.
We have excellent writers,
amazing singers, students who
can give profound and eloquent
speeches, not to mention our
athletes, dancers, gymnasts and
young engineers. We have it all.
There is a talent that lives within
some of our students, more
than a talent… a way of life. It is
observed in every action, in the
simplest of expressions… and it
is then when we find students
who are the vivid example of
kindness, dedication, citizenship,
compassion… all together, an ever
flowing river of virtues.
Yan Diego and Maya Wilson
are both very talented artists.
Since their first year at Saint
by Carmen Minaya ’91,
Head of Community Relations
George we were able to enjoy
their wide talents in theater and
performing during school plays and
presentations. Added to their talent
on stage they maintain very high
averages which come to prove that
their discipline and determination
does not only live on stage but
within them. To list their many
performances which include main
parts in performances at “Teatro
Nacional” and working under the
direction of the most famous
play writers of the country would
require a long time. These students
have already more theatrical
experience than many adults in that
field. Added to this, both of them
voluntarily take part in activities
of social awareness and are able to
excel in absolutely every activity
they engage in… just saying that
students of this caliber makes us
proud is an understatement.
Our student Yan Diego Wilson has
won the merit scholarship that will
pay more than half his schooling at
the Walnut Hill School for the Arts
in Natick, Massachusetts in hopes
that someday he will become the
next John Lasseter of Pixar films,
making the best animated films
of our day. Maya has earned a full
merit scholarship to attend the
Portsmouth Abbey School in Rhode
Island; she hopes someday to be on
Broadway for musical theater and
write novels. These amazing news
for both these students makes us
aware of how fortunate we were
to have these young scholars at
Saint George who move now to
spread their knowledge and talent
to others.
Yan Diego and Maya, thank you
for having made your years at
Saint George not only a wonderful
experience to you but to everyone
who came in contact with you. You
decided to take a path… a path for
leaders who believe in beauty, love
and a better world. In this path you
leave a trail that I hope many of
our students follow. Good luck out
there!
