‘I am Happy it’s all over’ - CSEC top students
The top three for the Territory hail from the Elmore Stoutt High School (ESHS).
Browne and Jeffers along with Johanna Marrugo who we were unsuccessful at reaching topped the Territory this year with 11 subjects each. According to the two that spoke with this news site they are now a bit more relaxed and comfortable to move on to the next level of their academic dreams starting off at the H. Lavity Stoutt Community College (HLSCC).
“It feels like a burden has been lifted off my shoulder,” said Browne. “It’s something that I had to do a lot of preparing for and it’s something I am glad is finally over,” said Jeffers. They both were not weary of the actual studying and facing the examinations for the greater part but rather the suspense of knowing how they had performed that guided their statements.
They both have a passion for the sciences and while Jeffers has given herself some time before the end of her studies at the HLSCC to decide exactly what career she will pursue in the science field, Browne has his game plan well arranged in his young head.
“After I am finished at HLSCC I plan to go to England to study medicine, at HLSCC I will be doing natural science,” Browne said. For Jeffers who had placed 14th at ESHS for the National School Leaving Examinations earlier this year, she will start her tertiary studies by focusing on the general sciences and thereafter pursuing a career in that field. The subject she was most comfortable with during high school was Biology.
Both students were high in praise to their teachers, the Almighty, Parents and others who supported them along their way. They were also complimenting of themselves for staying focused which they have seen paying off in the end.
Across on the Sister Island of Virgin Gorda the one name that came out among the top performers in the National School Leaving Examinations for 2014 was also prominent on the CSEC list. It is Allydah V. George. Contacted via social media as she is currently overseas vacationing George was overflowing with joy since receiving her CSEC results.
“I would not have achieved such great success if it were not for the help of the Almighty God,” she told this news site.
George sat nine (9) CXC CSEC subjects this year, “and I am thankful that I passed all of them. My hard work and endless studying surely paid off. I am also grateful for all the preparation help that I received from my various teachers.”
In addition, she said that she was extremely happy that she met the criteria to receive a full scholarship from the Government of the Virgin Islands. “And since I am preparing to attend college (HLSCC) this scholarship will enable me to further my studies in Law after I have obtained my Associates Degree,” she said.
