 I would like to be a pediatrician because I like children. I'd like to be a lawyer. A doctor, a chef, a designer, a model, and everything. I would like to thank God for making us come this far. I find the teachers really encourage the students to do their best in anything. We have the best teachers which always motivate us to keep on striving. I screamed and all my friends screamed together. With me, they were happy for me and I was excited. Well, hello viewers and welcome to a very, very special program that we are having with the 2010, top ten performers of the Common Entrance Examination. And of course, I'm excited because I've been engaging them for a long time before we got on air. So they look so immaculate, but when you really get to understand them, you will know so much about St. Lucia's top ten brain power. So what I will do is to invite them to introduce themselves.

Their parents are in the background. And they are just eager to hear what the children are saying and eagerly participating. I wish I could draw them and maybe add some other point. But as you, I love to hear what your parents do. Interestingly, how much support did you get from your parents and up till now? Anybody? How much support did you get from your parents in terms of doing your schoolwork? Before Common Entrance, my parents always used to quiz me. They provided me pass papers and books to work from. Wow. Anybody else get to tell me? You don't have to go in any order. Just raise your hand. Well, my mom and my dad usually, since I am not really good at essays, they usually correct my essays for me. They even assigned a special tutor for me named Philip Etienne because I was not really good at math, but now I'm good. And also, they always tried to quiz me because they knew my capabilities and they knew the question what I was low at and they'll go in that particular subject. What about your siblings? What about your siblings? That is your brothers, sisters. Did you have anyone that you tried to be like? Well, I'm the oldest, so my brother has to be like me. He's three years. He's younger than you? Yes. He has to be like you? So you're the eldest? Yes. I'm talking about those who have to follow from, you know, after somebody else in your family. Anybody has anybody else who did well and you wanted to be like in your family? Any other siblings? All right, tell me about your friends. Your friends. Tell me about your best friend. Tell me about your best friend. You're afraid to speak? Yeah. Well, my best friend, of course, is my dad and mom. Well, those are my best friends because they help me in every situation and, like, they will never... nobody in this world other than them can support me in anything and they will always try and make me happy and tell me that I can really do something good in my life. So I thank them for that. Wow, nice, nice. Anybody else wants to tell me about your best friend? Come on, I'm not hearing you on the side. Look at them. You tell me. Tell me about your best friend. Give it to her. Tell me about your best friend. I have many best friends and most of them encourage me to do my best and I really appreciate it and I also try to help them in their week areas as they do the same for me. So did they succeed as well? Yes. Okay. Who wants to tell me about the school that you attended? How did the school play a part in your education? Your teacher, the school itself. What do you want to tell us about your school? My school was one of the most places which encouraged me because our school, being community, we always want to be at the top. We want to keep our reputation. So they try to keep the students, they'll go into more research than probably other teachers. For instance, they'll be with you longer, they'll try to make you do your best because they want people to know that they are doing the best of their children. So they encouraged us a lot. They gave us many prep talks and so on. I want to hear about the other schools. Particularly the schools in the south of the island because they came here both things. There are many more children from the south than the north. So let me hear the children from the south. Yes, let's start with Bellevue. Tell me about your school. My school is the best school. My school is the best. Let me go. My school is the best school and they provide me with activities that I can engage in to increase my learning and better my education. Good. And actually I want you all to be serious people here. I want you to be selling your school so that every parent will send their child to the school that you attended. So let me hear it up here. What's at the school that parents should send their children, all children to Tapio? My school is a very nice school. Like all other schools? Yeah. I find the teachers really encourage the students to do their best in anything. And I love the way the teachers teach and I really thank my teacher because she is a very nice teacher and she teaches very good. Tell me her name. She would like to hear that. My teacher's name is Mrs. Yeowood and I appreciate all the things she taught to me. I love my school very much and I even love my principal very much because my principal used to give us lessons so so I even appreciate that. Good. Dimplet. Dimplet but I like that dimplet thing. Well, I find that my teacher she went the extra miles to give five of the top students in her class extra lessons for free on the Thursdays and that really helped me a lot. Although other children came in. She taught us subjects that the other students did not know I found that it came across in the exam. I like to thank her very much and I think she'll be very pleased to know that I came in the top ten. I like to find the principal for encouraging us. She will always have us to sit down and do extra things after school and I appreciate that very much. Good. Now this is the school where we're doing the recording. So let us hear about the Camille Henry Memorial School. Well, I love my school because during the years we have aspired to be the number one school. Well, only the little school with the less children beat us most of the time but yeah, I like my school. Since we have a new principal Miss Beverly Diodoni from the Dimplet School we hope to do very well in the years to come. Now we heard Camille already, you know but maybe he forgot to say something. I want to thank my teacher, Miss Gustave for always encouraging me to do my best. She has always supported me through the three terms that I have in grade six and her name is Miss Gustave and my Saturday lessons teacher, Mrs. Weeks she has also helped me to do my best and my kindergarten teachers, grade one and all the grades they have also persevered with me and I really appreciate it. Great. We're going down south now. I'd like to thank all three of my teachers Teacher James, Miss Enika and my mom Miss Karen they have encouraged me to do better and they listened to me and I'd like to give them a special thank you for helping me and telling me that I can when I think I can't. I'd like to thank all my teachers at OJ and especially Teacher Jim he would always, you know, tell me I can. None of you have told me about your school yet you all just took the thing in your own direction and you told me who you are who start thanking people and I want to hear about your school what is happening at your school that makes it so special none of you did that, you know. Peer combined school is one of the best schools on the island we have the best teachers which always motivate us to keep on striving well the principal I think we have one of the best principals ever always motivating us to keep on doing our best and the school always tries its best to like what we really want the school to try to give it to us as with our school this is one of the top schools on the island and we continue to do well in exams Okay now let me ask who's prepared to tell me how did you prepare for the Common Entrance Examination tell us how you prepared for that Common Entrance Examination My mom got me a lot of past papers and she used to sit down with me and do them with me and she used to correct them for me and she used to explain all the mistakes I've made and she my teachers they used to give us a lot of homework and some projects mostly about organizations and like about Salusha so then we would work hard at these things and get better I continued playing tennis until the Common Entrance because my dad had told me that you shouldn't only study you should play a little and tennis helps you to refresh your mind so then I continued playing tennis but not like as so much as I used to like I used to play when I had time too especially in the evenings and in the mornings and Where do you play tennis? At home? Yeah at home, I have a tennis club so then I really enjoyed this year especially with my teacher and I really thank every person who encouraged and motivated me to do well Good somebody else tell me how you prepare okay let's say I can't get the names yet, sorry I prepared by doing pass papers we were provided our chairs provided us with Common Entrance CDs to help us prepare and to realize where we need to improve we did extra work at home our chair gave us a lot of homework and projects to do and it really helped us a lot I'm still on the examination I am so eager to find out your favorite subject but in fact what I will do is I'll take a break now when we come back you will tell me a little more about your favorite subject and what you did for the for the composition, okay so we'll take a break and we'll be right back so listen and learn St. Lucian treat children with respect understanding and dignity remember they will be the adults of tomorrow I'm doing my part, you too can play your part take responsibility for creating a child-friendly society this message brought to you by the early childhood services of the Ministry of Education and Culture well we're here at the Camille Henry Memorial School and we're here with the top 10 performers of the 2010 Common Entrance Examination very excited but they look like they're dropping a little bit until now that they're going to tell us what they wrote, their favorite subject something like that we're having fun with the children spread around the island the various schools and of course what we're about to do now is one of the most exciting guys there in the bunch Mr. Jawa'i is going to Sundo Jawa'i will tell us about your favorite subject and how did you I mean what did you write for the for the composition well my favorite subject is general people because first I didn't really like English and mathematics and for the first term I think that's the only thing I just did I just kept on studying through my notes and notes and notes and I didn't really pay attention to mathematics and English and that's what brought my grades down but from second term when I started realizing that I started buckling up on mathematics and English and when I realized now mathematics is my favorite subject really? just like that? wow okay so what did you write for the competition you said you like to write yes well I wrote what I picked was it was a bright we had to start a composition it was a bright and windy morning bright and windy morning what happened then? I put a topic as going to a park because I remembered a day when my parents and myself we were going to a park and I tried to put it into an essay but I put it was a place and it was not in St. Lucia it was an imaginary place called Solomon's Island and then it was a newly opened park and it was named after the great Sir John and when we first you know if you go into a park we'll first clean up I first I wrote about what we do before we went to the park and we were all excited because we're going to this newly opened park and then I wrote we clean the house we got we got packed and things and I wrote about how we were when we were driving what expressions we had on our face and all that because that was the first park ever opened in that island and we were not really accustomed to what was a park so when we reached there we just saw this massive gate and it wrote on it a park of the late Sir John and when we went inside we were like just astonished because we just saw green grass because the island we were on it was just like desert but it was green grass and we saw vividly colored benches and we saw birds and we saw birds like the Amazonic color we saw different families and it was like it was just new to us because we never knew it was it could have been like that did you have to pay to enter? no what time you returned home? no I didn't write I didn't write when you returned home I just like for instance I wrote the park up to the time we opened our big umbrella and we just had fun for the rest of the day chicken and wine okay somebody has told me it is very good can you somebody has told me yes she wants to tell us what she wrote and your favorite subject my favorite subject is mathematics I wrote about I wrote about why do you like mathematics so much you like a lot of money I like to count but I'm just joking brain teasers I like mathematics because the way I understood the problems it also helped me in English in written comprehension and I noticed my grades going up in literacy good so tell me what you wrote your prior conversation I wrote about how we can make visitors welcome to St. Lucia and what day and the benefits they have I wrote about I wrote that they provide employment for solutions and they like a source of revenue for the country good so you support tourism would you like to work in the tourism sector I'm not sure not sure yeah but do you think it's a good thing for visitors and to assist them as much as possible yes ok now what would you do with the zombies all the zombies we have in town I don't know you don't know alright I want to hear from somebody else my favorite subject is mathematics on college my topic was it was a bright and windy morning oh the bright and windy morning my title was rescued in the nick of time we I went out to see if my grandfather in his old canoe and we were fishing and we realized that we were not catching any fishes so we went further out and the camp sea started to be rough so the weather started to change and our oars fell out of the boat and the current was pushing us towards ominous rocks and we were eventually we were rescued in the nick of time in the nick of time weren't you scared oh yes luckily but still I want to hear one more question we have two my favorite subject is mathematics and I wrote about a bright and windy day it started like it was bright and sunny and then I changed the essay to a rainy day like it became rainy I was going to the park walking to the park and then no to the beach yes I was walking to the beach and then I was enjoying myself in the water with some of my friends and after I saw big dark grey clouds forming above the horizon so I got scared and then I felt the rain rushing against my skin and then all of my friends just ran home and then we had to stay inside and our day became boring boring you had to rush home so you didn't leave at all did you write did you put on the paper poor job what a pity so let's hear you my favorite subject is language I wrote on it was a bright and windy morning everyone wrote the same thing my title was The Stranger I wrote my title was The Stranger I wrote that I was walking down a narrow dead path which led to my dilapidated house and I watched a stagnant pool of water and my attention was drawn to it then I felt a stranger touch me and he was a vagrant and the vagrant grabbed me and was pulling me into the nearby forest but then I beat him you beat him? yes on his hand yes I beat him and I started to run then I reached home and I told my mother about the story okay good alright now interesting I wish I could hear from all of you but we'll just hear the next thing I want from you is your reaction to your results when you heard that you were in the top 10 what did you do? come on I knew that reaction just as if it was the time when you got the news well the Monday afternoon a group of us from school stayed back until maybe minutes to six waiting for our results and then a friend of mine called Robin he told me that I came nine from the island he told me not to scream but I just started screaming and jumping up out the end let me hear what come on do it do it do it even with the little scream I just started screaming very loudly and everybody began watching me then my mother was passing so I went and I told her about it she knew because the teacher was at the place where they were giving the news were you disappointed that your mother knew before you? no she told me but I didn't really believe her oh you didn't believe her? you didn't believe your mom alright somebody else tell me your reaction okay well I was playing tennis when my when my friends mom came and she said she wanted to meet my mom so I took her number down and I told her my mom will be back in a few minutes and she'll call you back so then when my mom came back and she called her she was like what? and I was like did something happen so then she was like what? well I didn't really believe you so well she didn't tell me yet but then after a while when she put down the phone and she was like sir became third in the island so I think I heard it so then I was really surprised is this true should I believe it I think we should go to that school now so then my mom told me after I heard it and we went in the car and I was so shocked but I didn't scream I wanted to but I thought I shouldn't scream because I don't really believe it yet so I went to the school like everybody started hugging me and saying congratulations all the teachers and when I went to the principal she gave me such a big hug like I was squished like a big teddy bear hug so I was so happy that I got these results and my mom even told me that it is an exciting thing to know but there are more exams so this is just a milestone so I was like understanding and I was still like happy so now like a lot of people I know they congratulated me and some of them gave me gifts and they were not

church in your life or education or business or technology any one of these up to you but choose one you want me to review it should I review it the topics are family sport leadership crime environment church education business technology go right ahead I think family is the most important thing in a child's life without family your life would be just messed up pass it on pass it on the family I think a family is the most important thing in a child's life because if the family wasn't there to support the child financially and emotionally the child wouldn't be able to do so well and succeed I hope everybody is not going to choose the family the family is very important is the most important thing in a child's life and in society a family is there to support you and encourage you to do your best and someone without a family maybe sad or they might not do as well as someone with a family I want to speak about crime I think the level of crime is way too high people are scared to walk on the streets and I fall and I'm scared to walk in car streets sometimes I like to walk away from grass streets and marshes and all these places because I'm really scared and most people they kill some of them are innocent but others they're really guilty and they escape so I don't think that's fair to those who are really innocent for them to die good I like to talk about education when I was in the class with my classmate my teacher always said that people in life can take away everything from you your home, your money, everything but the one thing that they cannot take away from you is your education they can never take away your papers and if you have your degrees they can never take away from you so you can succeed in life with education well sports, without sports in this world it would be like nothing because walking, running even sometimes talking is a sport and sports are very sports keep you healthy especially when you run and even when you talk because when you talk it improves your face and stops you from getting freckles so I think sports is a very good thing in life I choose technology because technology has increased the way in which we live although it has made environmental problems worse but I still think it's good in our lives well I'll choose spirituality because if it wasn't for God I don't think any of us would be here because when they asked us what helped us we all said it was prayer it was prayer so I would like to thank God for making us come this far and I would like to say that all of us should put God first we can put families but we need to put God first because it was God who provided the families good leadership is essential in the family the society and everywhere because without leaders without leaders societies families they might they might be disordered so good leaders are important good finally I'd like to talk about the family since it's the most important thing in our lives well families can determine your future depending on the way they raise you so I'd say if it wasn't for them you wouldn't be successful in life as we are right now and families like they keep you out of trouble and make sure everything is right with you always ensuring that you're alright so I'd like to thank all the families well I would like to thank you for participating and making this program such a wonderful such a
