Good grades, scholarships, and athletics
Kayan Neil
Career & Education
January 8, 2016

Good grades, scholarships, and athletics

Students tell what they want to accomplish most in 2016.

Rasheed Downer, Kingston College

My biggest goal for 2016 is to get all my subjects that I’m doing in my exams — communication studies, pure maths, biology, physics and art — as well as to make the two national teams Carifta and CAC, and medal at Penn Relays.

Sherayne Graham, Ocho Rios High

I hope to achieve all As in all my 11 CSEC [Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate] subjects.

Megan Spence, St Hugh’s High

Focusing on completing my unit two CAPE exams so I can go to UWI to do a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering.

Shanel Bailey, Maths Unlimited

To pass all my upcoming CAPE [Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Exams] with nothing less than a grade one in sociology, information technology and computer science, and also to get accepted to the University of Technology, Jamaica.

Antonio Dale, Ardenne High

To complete school with excellent passes in my CAPE unit two exams and get accepted into the colleges I applied for — UWI [University of the West Indies] and NYU [New York University] Abu Dhabi.

Kimaya Warren, Convent of Mercy Academy (Alpha)

To continue my academic success by passing all my CAPE subjects — law, management of business, caribbean studies and sociology. I want to be able to say I became a better version of myself.

Gabriel Foster, Convent of Mercy Academy (Alpha)

I would like to achieve a track and field scholarship and to achieve good grades in my CAPE unit two examinations in 2016.

Nicque Graham, Morant Bay High

To be successful in my CAPE subjects — agricultural science, biology, communication studies and chemistry — and also to continue to be a mentor to my peers.

Kadene Neil, UWI

Just to do well in school so that at the end of the year I can complete my degree in public policy management.
