          Twins’ Academic Triumph: Sibling graduates as Valedictorian and Salutatorian for Class of 2023

          September 28, 2023

          Gloria and Victoria Guerrier, twin sisters from West Hempstead Secondary School, have distinguished academic success, earning the honours of salutatorian and valedictorian for the Class of 2023. This is an outstanding example of sibling rivalry. Last week, Gloria got an excellent grade point average of 105.3, while Victoria closely followed with 104.9. The fact that both sisters have kept immaculate academic records and have never received a grade lower than 100 during their high school careers makes their accomplishment all the more impressive.

          The twins have always thrived on healthy rivalry in the classroom, constantly pushing one another to achieve greater heights. Each time one sister received a higher grade, the other was inspired to work even harder the next time. They attribute their extraordinary achievement to their shared drive.

          Victoria expressed her satisfaction that their efforts over the past four years had paid off as they looked back on their accomplishments. She said, “We had been working for this for a long time, but we never know what can happen in the four years,” when she spoke on “Good Morning America.” We are therefore grateful that everything went as planned.

          The Guerrier sisters excel in a variety of areas, not just academia. They are also successful varsity athletes in three sports, earning All-County and All-State recognition for their outstanding track and field accomplishments.

          The sisters received praise from West Hempstead Secondary School, which noted that their most recent achievement is just one of many honours they have received both inside and outside the classroom. They graduated from secondary school in the top 5% of their class and have never shied away from a demanding course load.

          Gloria and Victoria will both be attending Yale University in the next autumn, where they both intend to major in computer science. Their friendly rivalry is still going strong as they enter college. The world eagerly anticipates seeing their continued success and growth as they pursue excellence in higher education, and the stage is set for an exciting new chapter in their academic journey.

Rising Africa is a vibrant platform that showcases the outstanding accomplishments of Africans around the world and gives youth in Africa the most recent information about scholarships and sponsorship opportunities. Our goal is to demonstrate the unique achievements and skills of Africans in a variety of disciplines, including technology, business, the arts and culture, and social activism, in order to motivate and empower the next generation of African leaders.

          Through our Success Stories portal, we celebrate Rising Africans of all ages and sectors who have risen above challenges and made impactful innovations. Our Wonder Kids section features young achievers aged 1-12, while the Super Teens category highlights those aged 13-19, and Young Achievers profiles those aged 20-30. We also have dedicated portals for Women in Africa and persons living with disabilities.

          In addition to celebrating African achievement, our Opportunities portal connects African youth to the latest sponsorship, scholarship, awards, and other life-changing opportunities. By providing access to these opportunities, we aim to empower African youth to pursue their dreams and make a positive impact in their communities.

          At Rising Africa, we believe in the limitless potential of Africans to create a prosperous future for the continent. Join us in celebrating African excellence and building a brighter future for Africa.
