Stephen Hill To Receive Trailblazer Award In NY - Other Jamaicans Among Honorees
Having been a past student of St George's College, Hill recounted the competitiveness between his alma mater and rivals Jamaica College. Members of both institutions were always trying to outdo each other in a bid to be the best. He described the competition between St Georges College and JC as healthy, but said that the chances were one in a million as far as him being named as an honouree on a list of awardees consisting of mostly JC past students were concerned.
Despite the slim chances, Hill beat the odds, and on October 3, at the LaGuardia Plaza Hotel in Queens, New York, the businessman will be honoured by the Jamaica College Old Boys' Association of New York (JCOBANY). Hill will receive the inaugural Trailblazer Award by the JCOBANY for his exemplary accomplishments and pioneering efforts in the advancement of the Caribbean Culture across the diaspora.
In an interview with The Sunday Gleaner, Hill said he was pleasantly surprised by the news. "I was quite startled," he said. "High schools in Jamaica are like political parties; we are very competitive, we rarely acknowledge 'outside people', but I am very happy and very proud to receive such an honour." Reflecting on the exact moment he got the news, Hill said he had a smile on his face the entire time.
"I was thinking about it and smiling to myself. This was like the PNP honouring Andrew Holness six weeks before an election,
I am very proud." He went on to say that the award was even more special because it came off a unanimous vote from the JCOBANY's board of directors.
