She's a Shining Star in her own right, and now her light is shining on
others. First-year E. S. Witchger School of Engineering Student and
Marian University Soccer Athlete Silvia "Niky" Quezada ’26, served as
guest speaker at Scecina
High School’s Annual Athletic Awards Ceremony.
The Archdiocese of Indianapolis' The
Criterion weekly newspaper featured Quezada '26 in a story about her
faith in God, and Scecina High School administrators read it and contacted
her.
Quezada '26 shared her testimony with Scecina's student-athletes and their
families about her dream journey, which brought her from a bilingual home in
Mexico to America, while explaining the importance of putting your trust in God
and remaining committed to your goals, despite challenging obstacles. Quezada's story and example is what
being a Marian University Shining Star is all about. Congratulations
Niky! You are are a remarkable example of Matthew 5:16. "Let your light
shine, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father, which is in
Heaven."
