WRIGHT

When Rohan Wright of DeCarteret College, Manchester, got his results for the 2006 Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) examinations, he was not surprised because he said he had worked hard and was expecting to do well.

Rohan gained distinctions for mathematics, English language, Spanish, French, one for physics, and two credits (twos) in biology and geography and a pass (three) for chemistry.

"I wasn't particularly surprised because I was expecting to do well," he told The Gleaner yesterday.

Students who gain distinctions usually have a straight 'A' profile in the subject area. For example, in English language, students are graded on understanding and expression. If that student gets 'A' for both areas, he/she would gain a distinction. Earning a one means that the student did not get a straight A profile.

Excellent teachers

Rohan attributes his performance to his teachers and his parents Donald and Jacqueline Wright, who he said provided the support that he needed while studying. According to him, DeCarteret has "excellent" teachers who went the extra mile to ensure that students understood what was taught.

The 17-year-old is currently in the process of registering for sixth form at DeCarteret, where he will pursue physics, Spanish, French, and information technology at the Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examinations (CAPE) level. He is uncertain of the career path he hopes to take.

When not studying, Rohan enjoys surfing the Internet, creating websites and watching television.
