MARION: S79-SUA

Marion’s journey through education took a significant step forward as she entered fourth grade, fueled by her unwavering determination to carve a path towards her dream of becoming a doctor. At 11 years old, she finds solace and support in the nurturing embrace of her grandmother, who serves as her steadfast anchor. With a penchant for numbers, Marion finds joy and challenge in the realm of mathematics, quietly but confidently showcasing her intelligence in the classroom. Her teacher recognizes her quiet strength, noting that when Marion speaks, her words resonate with authority, captivating the attention of her peers. As Marion continues to navigate her academic pursuits, her resilience and intellect propel her ever closer to the realization of her aspirations in the medical field.

Imagine a loving father struggling to provide a daily meal for his family.  Unable to find a job, he finally takes the studied and reluctant decision to leave his family in the care of his mother and go to another distant town to find work among Liberia’s many ill equipped and structured gold mines.  That’s what happened to Marion’s dad when she was four years old, and her family never heard from him again.  Marion still lives with her grandmother who fears her son is not alive.  Thank God GPA was there as a safety net for Marion.  She was promoted to third grade and is doing well in school.

In 2016 her father left and went to the gold mines in search of gold. He hasn’t been heard from since. The family is afraid that he may not be alive.  Her interests are playing with friends and she hopes to be a doctor when she grows up.
