Ms. Mariella Munyuzangabo & siblings

“The ambiance, Thiebou Yapp, and Sandaga,” are just a few of the things Mariella is going to miss when she moves to Canada this fall. Mariella Nineza Munyuzangabo, known to her friends as “Ella” was born in Burundi and is from Kigali, Rwanda. “Take one day at a time a time and think big,” a message Mariella says she got from her father that encourages her to work hard. “When I told him about wanting to be a doctor, he really showed me all the options and ways I could go. He always thinks big and told me I could one day open my own hospital for children.” Mariella received admissions offers to the University of Toronto, York University and the University of British Columbia with a merit scholarship. Hoping to one day become a Neonatologist, Mariella will enroll into the University of Toronto this fall and is currently undecided about which life science she will study. She’s aware of the several years she is going to put-in to reach her goal of becoming a Physician, but Mariella is in no hurry. Always living in the present, learning from the past and keeping an eye out for the future, Mariella is looking forward to all the joys and adventures of University.


Ms. Mariella MunyuzangaboStill, it’s all going to be a bit hard for Ms. Ella. Being very close to her family, especially her siblings, she is already feeling the withdrawal symptoms of living on her own next year. Umoja Unity Showcase, ISD Fashions/Talent Shows, Student Council events and the recent basketball trip to Lagos are some of Mariella’s high school highlights. Forever a busy-bee, and never without an agenda of to-do items, Mariella is looking forward to partaking in the several student activities on campus this fall. Named captain on the girl’s basketball team this year, Mariella hopes to continue playing basketball and will join an intramurals team this fall. She is also looking forward to joining the African Students Association, as well as an African Dance Group. Always with a proactive mind, Mariella says she has no problem getting some people together to start an African Dance Group if there isn’t already one on campus. Ms. Mariella Munyuzangabo


Mariella’s message to her peers, “don’t procrastinate, because there are consequences, and, don’t strss too much.” Described as determined, kind and the best popcorn-maker at ISD, Mariella’s warm personality and resourcefulness is sure to be missed next year. She feels grateful to her parents for giving her the opportunity to grow up in an international environment. As she looks forward to the different experiences of being a in bigger school environment and living in the lively city of Toronto, Mariella says, “I’m taking a lot with me, I am more prepared and I have met lots of great people because of how I grew up.” As you begin this new journey Mariella, we hope that the strength and positive attitude that has brought you this far continue to guide your every endeavor~

Congratulations
Find Mariella here fall 2009~
