    Dominican’s, stop being too petty about what different names and levels these beautiful women has accomplished. The fact is, they did their best, and they have graduated, and moving to a higher level. Instead of making babies for different men, or don’t know who their babies fathers are, encourage our girls to get an education, and the sky is the limit.

    Too many of our aunts, sisters, mothers are lost in this world going no where. Stop being negative, and be happy for these graduates, especially our women. If I knew then, what I know now, I would have gone to school, get my education and then think for babies after. I did just the opposite, and now it is difficult to go to school, because I put men before my education.

    Hurray, for our DOMINICA WOMEN WHO HAVE GRADUATED, AND PRAY FOR MORE GRADUATES IN THE FUTURE. Without education in this modern age, beauty is not going to mean much. Girls and women, keep stepping up and moving positive now and in the future. GOD BLESS!!!

    Always knew CB was the brain basket of Dominica. Go ladies with your bad self for the sky is the only limit. Naning (Ma Dominique) and Ma Pity should have been here to see how you all have progressed beyond CB Primary.
    May god bless you all.

    Assertive, NOT Agressive!

      Only at your university/college. For the rest of the world,3.5 – 3.7 is Cum Laude; 3.8-3.9 is Magna cum laude; 4.0 is Summa Cum Laude.
