A young man who wants to become a lawyer is the top student for Marist School at Mulivai this year.
Syrorio Chanel Le’iu, of Solosolo, is also the school’s Head Boy. He is heading to St. Joseph’s College next year.
“It was a tough journey,” he said. “Being the Head Boy and balancing my time with my studies was not easy.”
Mr. Le’iu is also a keen rugby player.
“I was keen to learn and I also wanted to become the best rugby player.” “However, I thank God I made it and it makes me happy that I have made it.”
His mother, Vaela’a Nunuimalo, said they are proud of their son’s achievements.
“As parents, we give our hundred percent to support him to pursue what he wishes,” she said. “We are very happy with the outcome.”
Syrorio is the second child of Vaelua and Vaela’a Nunuimalo’s four children.
