At just 18 years old, Messiah’s achievements highlight not only his academic prowess but his passion for community service and personal growth.
A Bright Future Ahead
Messiah is not just hitting the books. He has plans to venture into the dynamic world of broadcasting upon graduating. “I’m excited about attending a four-year university and diving into my studies,” he shared. It’s clear that his academic journey is filled with aspirations and dedication.

Passion for Learning
When it comes to his favorite subjects, Messiah is not just your typical student. He’s taken on the challenge of firefighting classes, currently enrolled in Firefighter 2 training. He proudly announced, “I just passed my FSAC, so I’m firefighter certified in the state!” This blend of academia with hands-on skills illustrates a strong commitment to both his studies and potential future career paths.
Leading the Way

From Setbacks to Triumphs
One of the most touching aspects of his journey is his resilience. Reflecting on his wrestling career, Messiah shared, “In my freshman year, I didn’t win a single match. But I kept working hard, and by my junior year, I qualified for the state championships. When they said that I qualified, it was one of the happiest moments of my life.” This commitment to overcoming challenges is a great lesson not just for fellow students but for anyone pursuing their dreams.
