CedarBridge Academy students Breon Neverson and Chrisanté Bean bested out all other students in the senior class and earned the titles of head boy and head girl.As leaders at the high school, the two students are responsible for various duties on top of their academic and extra-curricular commitments.Those duties include manning student boards such as the Prom, yearbook and fundraising committees, performing uniform checks, greeting students as they arrive to campus during mornings and mentoring younger CedarBridge students to help keep them on track with their studies.“The mentoring is more on our part,” said Breon, explaining that it is not a requirement of them to mentor other students, but rather a personal choice.Regarding their involvement with school committees, Breon said: “We have teachers who assist us, but they really want us to take charge because [the committees] are for us and for the enjoyment of [the students] in our year.”While handling the head student duties, both studies also have taken on a full academic workloads for their final year.Said Chrisanté: “My class load is nice. It doesn’t stress me out.”The Sandys resident is studying advanced maths, Advanced Placement English, GCSE Spanish, biology 2 and Preserving Our Heritage, a class about Bermuda’s history and culture. In her free time the S4 student also visits the GCSE drama class, which is currently focusing on Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’.Just like his head student counterpart, Breon is taking a full course load. His classes include calculus, advanced maths, physics, AP English and health issues.Both Breon and Chrisanté tout AP English as their favourite course.When not working inside the classroom, the students are busy lending their services outside the classroom, dabbling their hands in different extra-curricular ventures.Breon is currently on the CedarBridge debate team and performs as a puppeteer with Cornerstone Bible Fellowship’s ‘The Servant Team’. Throughout his high school career he has also participated in sailing and the Catlin Mentoring Programme.Said the Hamilton Parish resident: “Because [in high school] I didn’t do one thing, I have become more well rounded.”Also exuding her creative side, Chrisanté is a liturgical dancer on the ‘Mighty Steps of Faith’ dance team at her church, The Salvation Army. She also leads the Youth Praise and Worship team at the church. Throughout high school Chrisanté has also participated in horseback riding, and she regularly volunteers many hours at various charitable events, such as Tag days for The Reading Clinic.“Doing various activities helps me to interact with people and just keeps me active,” said Chrisanté.Looking to the future, both students have aspirations of going to college and pursuing fulfilling careers.Chrisanté, who aspires to become a criminologist, is hoping to attend St Mary’s University in Canada next year.“I was looking at St Mary’s University because one of its strongest degree programmes is criminology,” said the teenager.Breon, who wants to pursue a career as an automotive engineer, plans on taking a gap year.“I’m applying to Rotary [Exchange] to go to school in Germany for a year,” said the future engineer.He plans on attending university in either Germany or the UK after his Rotary Exchange experience.When asked why he chose Germany as a location to study, the teenager explained that his top choices of Japan and Italy were taken, and that as an aspiring automotive engineer, Germany’s reputation for creating quality cars made it the next best choice.The students also offered advice to other students.“No matter what people tell you, you can always live up to your own dreams if you work for it and don’t stick to the norm. Don’t just step outside the box, but step outside the entire area,” advised Breon.The great debater explained that throughout his life he has tried to deviate from the norm. He noted this especially with regards to his choice of extra-curricular activities which in the past have included fencing, karate and sailing which is atypical from many young Bermudian boys who tend to gravitate towards football and cricket.“Stretch your legs,” he added.Said Chrisanté to up-and-coming students: “Just be yourself, do your best and just set your own goals and your own dreams and try to achieve them to the best of your abilities.”
