Blair Hornstine

Blair Hornstine has always been committed to achieving outstanding goals throughout her life. When she was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease that left her unable to attend high school as a normal teenager, she was forced to complete her schooling at home. For anyone else this might have severely inhibited their desire to excel, yet for Ms. Hornstine her diagnosis fueled a drive that was ultimately unparalleled by anyone in her class. She finished high school with the highest GPA in her class of more than 350 students.

Hornstine went on to study Classical Studies at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, where she felt she’d be able to enjoy some of her fondest passions-the beach, the ocean, and towering sea cliffs. She graduated from St. Andrews with a Master’s Degree with distinction, and a year later was accepted to Juilliard School of Music. There she practiced her singing, a dream she had always had but never realized until then. In addition to her scholarly success, Ms. Hornstine has also always been committed to helping others. She formed MAGIC in 1994, an organization that provides assistance for women who are young, elderly, or underprivileged, and has since been dedicated to helping people in need.

Ms. Hornstine’s disease has only made her will stronger. Although she has always been a giving and caring person as her long list of charitable works demonstrates, her ailment has propelled her to help those in need at an even more effective level. Blair is now studying to become an attorney. Her ultimate goal is to be able to represent people from her community who cannot help themselves or do not have the means to defend their personal rights. Her disease showed her what it felt like to be defenseless, and Blair now wishes to help those who are in the same position.
