Armenia Government School here on the Hummingbird Highway finished their graduation exercise this morning for 32 students who will be moving on to another step in their education. Pedro Chinchia and Ernel Salam who are the best of the best, they had a goal of their own and that goal is to be among the star.  They did not only talk the talk but they walk the walk in walking away with the highest honor.  I have here Pedro Chinchia, he is the valedictorian and he will tell us how to achieve this goal, it takes hard work.”

PEDRO CHINCHIA, Valedictorian

“Well it feel very good especially being the valedictorian you get very happy and sometimes sad for the others but it’s good.  It’s very hard work, you have to work hard to achieve this goal.  I felt like amazed when I heard I was the valedictorian but at the same time I felt like I deserve it because of my hard work.  Sometimes I just slip up but am smart, I know I could do it.
