Scholar Highlight: Roman Jones

Introducing Roman Jones, a remarkable 16-year-old and the recipient of the Equity & Merit Scholarship at Somersfield Academy. Roman is a track runner with D.A.S.H. Track Club and embodies resilience, determination, and integrity.

Reflecting on his academic journey thus far, Roman describes it as a blend of tranquility and occasional challenges. Despite the upheavals of changing schools, he maintains an optimistic outlook, eager to embrace the opportunities ahead of starting at Somersfield Academy.

Roman's introduction to the Equity and Merit scholarship came through a fortuitous encounter with a teacher during a fundraising event at his previous school. The substitute teacher approached Roman and his mother, telling them about the Equity & Merit Scholarship at Somersfield, and urged them to apply.

When asked about the impact of the scholarship on his academic path, Roman envisions a horizon filled with exploration and discovery. With the scholarship's support, he anticipates diverse academic disciplines which will help shape his future career aspirations.

At the heart of Somersfield Academy's mission lies the cultivation of socially conscious, independent thinkers. Roman's alignment with this ethos is evident as he articulates his self-awareness and commitment to personal growth. He recognises his strengths and limitations, viewing challenges as opportunities for growth rather than obstacles.

We warmly welcome Roman to the Somersfield community and know that Roman will make a meaningful impact to not only Somersfield, but to Bermuda, and the world.
