MARIAN CATHOLIC HOSTS COLLEGE DAY Young Alums offer keen insights for current students More than 40 young alums took time out during their winter break to share their insights on life and higher education with Marian Catholic juniors and seniors on College Day, January 9. During an informative session, the students exchanged their views on a wide range of topics including dorm life, class selection, and how well Marian prepared them for their college experience. Deana Williams ’12, Miami University, OH, explained her take on the day: “I was surprised and impressed with all the questions students asked throughout the day,” she said. “I think we were able to talk about many of the concerns students have when they are thinking about college. Ranging from academic difference compared to high school, to living in the dorms, I think sharing our experiences helped students understand the dynamics of college.” “I think sharing our experiences helped students understand the dynamics of college.” -Deana Williams ’12 Miami University, Ohio WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A LEADER Stanley Pearson, II ’98 held a personal leadership and motivation forum at Marian Catholic on March 11. The interactive, energetic presentation for students at an all school assembly created a safe environment in which to analyze how they approach personal relationships, day-to-day situations, and their general outlook on life. “I am glad I had the opportunity to speak with Marian students,” he said. “I personally had a memorable experience as a student at Marian Catholic. I remember being very busy with band and football. The band won Grand Nationals twice while I was at Marian. I had the opportunity to meet many people and create great friendships.” Stanley began his presentation by explaining his issues with self-identification. In high school and in college, peers labeled Stanley by his appearance. After soul-searching and reaching a breaking point, he had enough with labeling and was determined to speak out. Stanley is a professional motivational speaker who specializes in leadership and diversity. His programs present participants with an opportunity to understand one another. College campuses and high schools, military bases, and businesses, have invited Stanley to give presentations. “Everyday I have a new experience that further shapes my future existence. I am aware that events in the past have shaped my future, so I work towards a better understanding of things that have happened and things that will happen,” explains Pearson. “Acceptance has so much to do with how we handle events in our lives. We deal with accepting ourselves, seeking out acceptance, and being able to accept others.” Stanley believes that we all have a responsibility to ourselves, and the people around us, to handle situations better each day and grow from them.
