XHG SENIOR CORNER:
Our 2019 graduating senior is Faith Minor. Faith is graduating from Hermitage High School with a GPA of 4.175 and will attend Elon University in North Carolina in the fall. Faith plans to major in Education with an emphasis on Biology. Faith has trained with Coach Nadia and Coach Juan since she started gymnastics as a Level 3 in 2011. She has remained with her coaches for 8 years through Xcel Diamond until her retirement from competitive gymnastics in the Spring of 2019. We wish Faith well in her new life adventures! 💙 "Acknowledging the contributions of Coach Nadia and Coach Juan to Faith's attitude towards life cannot be underestimated. Those hours in the gym have paid dividends in many ways. The coaches encourage Faith to always give 100%. Faith still does." John M. (Faith's Dad) 2021 |
