At 42, Nicola Clement is both a mother and grandmother who has spent years supporting and celebrating the academic achievements of those around her. Now she is the one being celebrated.
Clement is among students of the Sophia Night School who have gained passes at the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) examinations.
Clement herself was able to secure a Grade I pass in English A and a Grade III pass in Office Administration.
Yesterday, fighting tears, Clement, a librarian, told the newest registrants to the night school’s CSEC programme of just how much it took for her to persevere and complete her milestone, more than 20 years after leaving high school.
