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

Messiah is also actively involved outside of the classroom, particularly with the Lighthouse team at his school.

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.
