At Primavera, we have some of the best, most talented, hard working students there are! That’s why we’ve decided to shine the light on a few of our amazing students.

Each month, our teachers nominate a student they feel has gone above and beyond, and we get the opportunity to get to know them a bit in this blog!

Let’s get to know Cion!

Question: Why did you choose Primavera?

Early graduation and easy to learn courses.

Question: What would you like your classmates to know about you?

I play a lot of video games but when it comes to school I’m fully focused. I love to cook and after high school I will start working on my culinary career. I usually always sleep or cook or am at work and yes, its hard to balance school and work but with a little bit of determination and work ethic it becomes very easy.

Question: What makes you a successful student?

Staying on top of work, keep the consistency because one wrong move and you can cost you a lot of stress and it’s very annoying to try and work your way out of it but if you ever feel as if you can’t do it anymore just remember school is only 4 years and all you got to do is get through it and finish it once you do I promise it will feel so rewarding. Time flies by so make the most of it by staying consistent with school but also having fun at school like joining clubs, going to events and being interactive in the live sessions.

Question: What advice would you give other students to be successful?

Keep going no matter how hard it may get, no matter how much you want to quit, keep going because no one wants to be a dropout unless they ultimately have to and no one wants to repeat high school, so just get it done now. Don’t stress too much if you need a break, take one no one is forcing you to do anything but that doesn’t mean just don’t do your work at all but taking a quick 20-30 minute break just away from everything can really help, so whatever you do, just keep going and finish the year out strong!

Question: What do you want your teachers to know?

I want them to know that I really appreciate all the work they have done for thousands of students and myself, especially my economics teacher Mr. Fletcher – great teacher, love the live sessions and it’s not always just work. We sometimes joke around a little but get the work done and that goes for every other teacher with live sessions. Even though the sessions aren’t mandatory it’s still worth it to get grades dropped off or extra credit so I’d recommend going but to wrap up, I really do appreciate all the work you guys do for everyone and every single one of you guys are doing a fantastic job.


Once again, congratulations to all of our Student of the Month recipients. We are proud of you for all you have accomplished!
