Simon nee Roberts, 52,She is the holder of a Bachelor’s Degree and a Master’s Degree even though she had not the requirements needed to gain entry to a university when she left high school.
“I am the last sibling and the only one to have gone to high school, to university and the only one to receive a Bachelor’s and a Master’s…,” she said adding, “Who would have thought that from coming from Dolphin Community High School, I would have ended up at a prestigious university with my late blind grandfather words still ringing in my ear, ‘You passed. You passed.’ When in reality I had failed at the common entrance exams,” Simon told Stabroek Weekend during a recent interview.
