Cianna Dalson, six year old genius!
Rae Anthony

Cianna Dalson who lives in Agard, Morne Du Don, is not your typical six year old girl. However, this girl is more or less a genius and her impressive vocabulary and self-expression suggests that within the first few minutes of conversation. Daughter of Calixtus Dalsan and Amy Mitchell, the young girl expressed herself freely during an interview with us.

Student of Dame Pearlette Louisy Primary School, Cianna has always ‘aced’ her tests and come first in class. The comments from her teachers suggested that they are quite proud of her. Cianna enjoys ballet and has been dancing for two years now. She performed a piece without hesitation and sang along while she danced. Cianna says that she enjoys going to church and hearing about God. She says when she gets older she would like to travel with her parents and that she especially wants to visit China so that she can collect fossils, which is an unlikely statement for a six year old to make but which is quite impressive. She says that she would like to have a fossil collection. Apparently Cianna has done her own research because when looked up online, it says that China has some of the finest fossils ever discovered.

Her favourite subjects are General Science and Mathematics. She has gotten many awards which would leave an individual speechless because they are that great in number. She says she enjoys watching movies with her parents and likes going to various places in the island including Pigeon Island.

When asked what she would like to be when she grows up, she said “I would like to be a vet!” She says she has pets of her own including a cat she calls “Peow.” She says she loves watching Animal Planet on television. Cianna said that she would also like to be a tennis player when she grows up. She said, adorably, “I would like to play tennis when I get older because they get to put on really nice clothes!”

She enjoys learning. She says she also likes to make breakfast for her mom for Mother’s Day. She said “Last year I gave my mom a banana for Mother’s day, I wanted to give her more but I can’t use the stove. This year however, my granny helped me. I gave my mom a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and tea.”

Her dad was present during the interview, but did not even have to contribute anything because she was more than capable. He says she’s an intelligent girl who loves to learn, and he says as a parent, he will help her in any way that he can, to go very far in life. He says that both he and the mother are very proud of their daughter and they will do their very best for her.
