Meet our student reporter Marco Stampp
The basics: I am a 14-year-old S1 student at CedarBridge Academy. I am the youngest person on the debate team at my school, and I am also a part of the boys' under-16 football team.
My family is loving and supportive, always by my side for me to call upon for encouragement
My favourite in-school activity is socialising and learning new things in a fun way.
My favourite after-school activity is joking around with my friends whether in person, over the phone, or online.
My favourite music is dancehall but I enjoy other genres as well.
My favourite place to shop is New York, Manhattan House.
The thing that irritates me the most is when people lie. I hate lying and everything that comes under it like suss (he say she say), stealing, false friends, etc.
I'd like to be anything that impacts my community for the good. I am not sure of a specific career field and want to wait until I've explored more subjects to find ones I gravitate to naturally.
Message to my peers: Trust in the Almighty. Just believe in yourself and be yourself. Live for yourself not your friend and be you for who you are. Never mind what other people think about you.
