I am really disappointed that the top csec student was not asked to give the feature address at the youth rally . The top student is actually CONNELL JNO.BAPTISTE who obtained 11 grade ones. It is even more , sad when we are talking about boys and underachievement. somebody , please answer the question for me – Why was CONNELL not given the opportunity to speak to the young PEOPLE? WHO JAH BLESS NO MAN CURSE.
I was wondering about this myself.
all u will give the pm a break one day all u never miss the water till the well run dry is only when people die thats is the time all u give them their flowers and at that time its to late even if he was out of state would there not be a parade this mornin
Top Student speaks.. but there is a pic of scouts? where is the pic of the “Top Student”?
ADMIN: That is because when the story was posted, the top student had not spoken yet.
Surprisingly He is not out of STATE
Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Nicholson Dodds and the entire Dodds family on the success and achievement of your beautiful daughter Leah your parents Tus and Ma Tus would have grown combined noses as long as the village of Wesley three times to the tenth power. This is truly an incentive for young people to try to emulate.
To Leah keep doing your best and the sky is your limit. “Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and everything else will be added unto you” Multiplied blessings.
