    I am expressing congratulations to my students for a job well done. To Kimara you deserved it you have been very consistent throughout. You are always ready to try and I always admire that quality in you. Keep aspiring. To her parents you must be commended for your commitment, you always ensured that you daughter had whatever was needed to get the job done. Special mention must be made of her dad who always fined the time to ensure that she was always present at extra class and would ensure that he waited for her no matter what time the class over, the world needs more fathers like you.

    To Liz, I was always hopeful that you would have been awarded this position. You deserved it, you are very strong headed student who is also well focused. Keep up the good work. Attitude is everything.

    To shernel , congratulations on a job well done.

    Edvin, well done most discipline student that is so good when we live in a society where men appears to be taking a back bench. Way to go boy.

    To all who walk the walk congratulations from the heart of your teacher to a special class.
