Meet Gino Mazzoli

Gino Mazzoli is a “loyal, kind, and funny” twelfth grader at Center Academy’s Waterford Lakes Campus. He enjoys studying Personal Finance for the practical advice it offers—both for life now and for the future.

His favorite teacher is Mrs. Gomez, and he describes her as “the best teacher I’ve ever had. She finds ways to explain concepts so everyone can understand and truly cares about each of her students.”

Reflecting on his school experience, Gino added, “The teachers and staff have always been very nice and encouraging. I enjoy coming to school and try never to miss a day. I am now confident with exams,” and feels he has benefited from tools and techniques that suit his learning style.

Gino lives with his parents, his brother Jason, and his Shih Tzu, Leia, who is the “boss of the house.”

Gino once researched Mahatma Gandhi and gave a wax-museum presentation about him. Gandhi’s philosophies centered on truth, non-violence, morality, and self-discipline. Gino wishes he could have heard directly from Gandhi about what he envisioned our world could become.

During his high school years, Gino has visited eleven countries. He has toured as many museums and historical sites as possible to learn firsthand about world cultures and history.

Gino is proud to be maintaining a cumulative GPA above 3.5. He plans to attend Valencia College before transferring to the University of Central Florida.

Thank you, Gino, for sharing a little about yourself with us, and congratulations on being selected for the Student Spotlight!
