Trailblazer News


Recently, Diego P. '25 captivated the audience at TEDxHuntingtonBeach with a powerful talk on the transformative power of facing fears and discovering passions.

This spontaneous opportunity came when Diego heard about TEDxHuntingtonBeach from his dad. He applied and auditioned, ultimately feeling thrilled to be selected to present. During his session, Diego shared a powerful message about how some of our most life-changing moments can be found on the other side of our fears, recounting a personal experience that led him to discover his passion for music. He emphasized this point by performing an original song he wrote, demonstrating how confronting his fears has shaped his artistic journey.

Diego credits his involvement in the Sierra Canyon Arts program for shaping his confidence and artistic vision. "The Arts program allows me to express my creativity and passion for music, empowering me to continue pursuing that passion both in and out of school," he shared. The School has not only provided him with numerous opportunities to perform for the student body, preparing him for larger audiences, but it has also helped him develop a deeper appreciation for the striking similarities between music and public speaking. He acknowledges that both demand a strong connection with the audience and the ability to engage effectively.

Looking ahead, Diego plans to build on these experiences in future pursuits, viewing them as significant milestones in his journey. He is eager to explore new opportunities, including speaking at other events and furthering his musical career, as he continues to learn from these inspiring experiences.
