Three teen residents of the St John’s Bosco Orphanage who decided not to allow life’s challenges to limit them, are celebrating their performances at this year’s Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) exams.
Junior Dookharan, Steve Kumar and Orin Smith, in an interview with Stabroek News on Wednesday, also ascribed their success to the support they received from teachers at Chase Academy and Sisters at the orphanage, especially Sister Julie Matthews. The St John’s Bosco Orphanage is located at Plaisance, East Coast Demerara
Despite challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic and transitioning from different school environments to Chase Academy at the height of preparing for their examinations, the resilient teenagers said they were committed to achieving academic excellence.
