Claude Cedrina Missamou is currently a senior at Malden High, where she has attended all four years. Born in Libreville, Gabon, Missamou came to the United States at the age of ten. During her years of high school, Missamou ran the 400m hurdles, the 4 by 4 and 55m hurdles during indoor and outdoor track. Five years from now, she sees herself in another state or continent as she takes interest in learning about other cultures. One thing Missamou has truly enjoyed about being a part of Malden High was meeting people from a variety of backgrounds. She has learned that we all endure similar experiences despite the disconnect we tend to feel towards one another. Missamou is interested in social justice, activism and representation and hopes to connect these interests to her work in her third year as a member of the Blue and Gold.
