Monday, October 29th, Seco Mines Elementary Alumni, Paola Garcia-Zuazua, visited with the 6th Miners to share her experience at The United States Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, New York.
Paola explained how she got there, what classes she needed to take, and explained the importance of STEM courses.
She also went on to encourage the students to aim high, and never give up.
The students were noticeably excited when she informed them that she was to fly out to Honolulu, Hawaii in a few weeks to board a ship to fulfill her 4 months at sea.
The Miners wish her a safe trip and are eager to learn about the places she will visit.
Good luck Paola Garcia-Zuazua, go Miners!
