TALENT…
Talent isn’t only about singing, dancing, or even acting. The word “Talent” has
a deeper meaning within itself. When I first came up with this blog, I intended
to search for unique talents all around Marianopolis. I wanted to see whether
students had the “X Factor” in them. I’ve met many interesting people since,
but there was this one particular girl who caught my attention.
I used to see her run around school
doing so many different activities. She’d be helping out students, she’d be
organizing events, she’d be giving speeches, and she’d also be participating in
competitions. She inspired me with her passion and I’m sure she’ll inspire many
of you as well. She’s an all rounder, but she simply calls herself fanatic! She
is none other than Sarah Morgan.

Sarah Morgan is a second year
student studying Health and Science in Marianopolis and she has many
exceptional talents. She is a robotic enthusiast, the VP of our College, and
she also manages to be an A+ student at the same time.
Sarah initially joined Robotics in
Grade 8 because she found it exciting and her Science Teacher inspired her as
well. It was also very new from the other clubs and activities that she had
done in High School. She began to see YouTube videos for more motivation but
the adrenaline rush she got from competing against others intrigued her most. Her
favorite part about robotics was the machines, their final outcome, and sharing
the same hobby with others.
When Sarah first came to
Marianopolis and joined congress and robotics, she had a hard time balancing
everything together. She confesses that during robotics competitions she was
always nervous because she hated being judged. However, her desire to learn and
her hard work gave her the confidence to continue her passion. Sarah is overall
very task oriented and she loves to have her plate full because it helps her
get her work done faster.

Apart from robotics, Sarah loves
being the VP. She keeps herself busy with a lot of meetings, she oversees a lot
of issues, and she also enjoys planning events. The quality that Sarah has
within her isn’t just a talent, but her perseverance and creativity to work as
a team. Sarah believes that she can get towards her goal if she thinks outside
the box and tells everyone to follow her motto that “If the pieces don’t fit,
there’s always another way to get to where you are!”
