Hailing from the community of Tucker,\ntwelve-year-old D\u2019Shaun Fletcher obtained a score of 353.4 in the 2019 staging\nof the inaugural Primary Exit Profile (PEP) examinations. That particular score\nis reportedly the highest obtained by any male student from the county of\nCornwall.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The young scholar\u2019s father, Rohan Fletcher, was ecstatic. \u201cI\nfelt good. I was really looking for something like that. I was saying to myself\nthat my boy did excellently well and I didn\u2019t really see any other male student\ndoing as well as he did in this western region. The principal assured me that\nhe should get a government scholarship. So, when I got the call, I wasn\u2019t very\nsurprised. I had dropped him at orientation at Herbert Morrison and right after\nI dropped him off, I got the call that he had gotten a government scholarship.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Herbert Morrison Technical High School was the school of his\nchoice, due largely to the Science and Mathematics programmes that it boasts.\nD\u2019Shaun believes that his aspirations will be actualized while he is at Herbert\nMorrison Technical High. He served as Head Boy of Howard Cooke Primary, was an\navid participant in the Science and Environmental Club and was involved in the\nMusic Club during his tenure at the primary-level institution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rohan is convinced that the level of excellence that his son\nhas thus far displayed will persist while his son is enrolled at the secondary\nlevel. He also believes that the guidance and support that D\u2019Shaun has received\nfrom family and well-wishers alike will continue henceforth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI would like him to continue on the same path. He\u2019s a\ndiligent young man, you know. His priority is his schoolwork,\u201d Rohan told the Western Mirror. \u201cHe always had\nexcellent grades and he never gave any form of trouble. He even served as the\nHead Boy of Howard Cooke Primary so that should indicate the standard he holds\nhimself to.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are several stakeholders who contributed to the\nsuccess that D\u2019Shaun has attained. Of these stakeholders, Paul and Michelle\nRobinson both played particularly important roles. They assisted D\u2019Shaun in\nconducting his preparations for the PEP exams and played an integral role in\nmotivating him in all his pursuits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn terms of academics, if someone beats D\u2019Shaun, then\nthey\u2019re good. I have to give him his credit for that. I also must say thanks to\nDoctor Paul Robinson and his wife Michelle Robinson from Westgate Hills. They\nwere very helpful and they supported us all the way throughout,\u201d Rohan added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>MAKES NO COMPROMISES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">D\u2019Shaun aspires to a career in medicine and has a\nlong-standing history of being a diligent, assiduous worker. Rohan insisted\nthat his son dedicates himself assiduously to the pursuit of all his goals and\nmakes no compromises when it pertains to education. The proud father affirmed\nthat D\u2019Shaun has always excelled academically and makes it a point of his duty\nto prioritize education above all else. This attitude, Rohan revealed, has\nserved him well in all of his endeavours and he believes that if he maintains\nthis attitude then there will be nothing that can stop him on his quest.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy son is the kind of guy that focuses on academics. If he\ngets homework, then he will focus solely on that homework. He studies hard and\nhe\u2019s always doing well. His behaviour is perfect and he is not a child that\nwill give any trouble. He\u2019s always in his books and that\u2019s why he\u2019s achieved\nwhat he has.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rashaun Stewart\u00a0-Summer Intern The top-performing boy from Howard Cooke Primary has secured a government scholarship for the pursuit of his secondary-level education.
