The twins stated that they were able to achieve academic excellence because of their competitive nature, especially with each other. Adding that competing with one another helped them improve in their studies.
“Whenever I would get a certain grade, and it wouldn’t look like hers, we would always compete, and it really helped us push each other and improve and always constantly reflect on how we’re doing,” Victoria said.
 “It’s like the saying, ‘How iron sharpens iron.’ We really use each other to improve upon ourselves, I think that level of competition between us was what really helped us,” Gloria added.

Victoria advised young student who are still in school to never doubt themselves but have a positive mind towards achieving their dreams. ” Throughout my high school journey I’ve learned to overcome self doubt, because we all have it,” she said.
“We all have those thoughts of, ‘Can I do it? Can I do it?’ I would tell those young girls looking up to me that anything is possible, truly. And if you set your mind to it, you can achieve,” she added.
The Guerrier sisters said they will be attending Yale University Connecticut in the United States with plans to major in computer science, specifically in artificial intelligence.
“We do want to both major in the same thing, artificial intelligence but I think I want to move more into neural technology, with helping certain patients who have been limited physically learn to overcome their physical disabilities with technology,” Victoria said.
