He wants to become a medical doctor and eventually an orthopedic surgeon, since he has broken his arms three times, or a pediatrician because of his \u201clove for helping people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He has a message for other young people. \u201cBe humble, you can\u2019t ignore your studies and expect to do good, study hard, make the necessary sacrifices, be focused, give up being on the social media networks like Facebook and pray every day and night and God will see you through,\u201d Jno. Baptiste advised.<\/p>\n<p>His mother, June Jno Baptiste, who is a teacher at the St. Martin Primary School, said she is very happy because of her son&#8217;s achievements. \u201cAs a parent, I make it my business when it comes to the education of my children&#8230;.. Cornell always wanted to pass a child who a few years ago had gotten 10 Ones, and so I am not one bit surprised,\u201d Mrs. Jno Baptiste stated.<\/p>\n<p>She labels her son as \u201can achiever\u201d who always ensures that he \u201creads and his school work is done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has a passion for learning and I gave him the necessary support &#8230; he is not a book worm, he is just a humble child, very helpful to his fellow students, respectful and quiet. He has made his village Salisbury, school, church, family and friends proud,\u201d she remarked.<\/p>\n<p>Cuthbert Elwin is the principal of SMA where Jno Baptiste was the 2012 valedictorian. He said he is extremely happy at the outcome of his student\u2019s results.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor four years we have been trying to get 11 Ones and it has eluded us. Finally Cornell has conquered &#8230; I am not surprised at all &#8230;.\u00a0 he has always been a good working student, I wish him well in his future studies,\u201d Elwin said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"16-year-old Cornell Jno Baptiste, who according to the Ministry of Education made history in Dominica by becoming the first ever student to get 11 ONES in a CSEC exam, is attributing his success to \u201chard work, commitment and dedication.\u201d Jno&#8230;","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":70993,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-70992","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-educationyouth"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
