Zephaniah Estime

Zephaniah was nominated for the Art category. It meant a lot to her to know that her art is getting the recognition it needs and provide her the opportunity to receive a scholarship because it is an accomplishment in itself.

When asked about the process she said, “The process of Pathfinders prepared me for real-world things, without that I probably still would not know how to properly carry out an interview in the future. Also, if I were to get the scholarship, I would be able to put that towards college in the future, and it could help me out.”

However, she’s not too sure if she won because she was talking to some of the other candidates and believes that they did very well and had some strong art pieces. Yet, she thinks that she did fairly well even though she was nervous. She was able to recall a lot of tactics while talking and believed that her efforts would pay off at the award ceremony.

When asked if she could have one famous art piece in her living room, she said, “It would be a piece by Jean Michel Basquiat. His art is just very nice to look at, there is so much that you figure out just by looking at it for a little bit, I love the way he tells a lot just with one painting.”
