2 tots see bright future ahead

This early, 12-year-old Alleena Dela Cruz Villaluz already knows that she wants to follow in her grandfather Jose’s footsteps of becoming a lawyer.

Alleena, an excellent student at Saipan International School, is well on her way toward her goal. Last year, she received the Verbal Commendation Award for the Model United Nations competition in the CNMI. This competition is open to students 6th grade and up.

Her 10-year-old brother, Artie, is also doing good in school. Both have received awards in Math Court.

Alleena and Artie started taking taekwondo lessons last year. They have achieved the Brown Stripe, Brown Belt, Alleena said.

Their mom Roxie said, “I try to keep these two busy and interested in learning new things.”
