Williams, Lionel make All Saints Primary proud

ALL Saints Primary pupil, Dimitri Williams and his competitor Medeina Lionel, worked ‘neck to neck’ as they rotated the first and second positions throughout their primary school days.

But, it was Williams of Lot 39 Stanleytown, New Amsterdam, who grabbed 508 marks, two marks ahead of his classmate Lionel, which allowed him a placement at Bishops’ High.

However, 11-year-old Lionel, who will be heading to St Stanislaus College, said she is pleased with her performance.

For Williams, it was his mother, Abigale Bobb Williams, who would boast of having her only child attend the second top secondary school in the country, but, it was his confidence, which allowed him to make that wish, a reality.

“I believed in myself, as I knew anything could happen,” beamed the aspiring engineer.

“There were challenges, especially in mathematics, but I conquer those challenges and I am pleased that I made my parents, including my father Esau Kosi Williams, grandparents, aunts, uncles, family, teachers and others proud,” he said.

Williams is an avid reader, especially adventurous novels such as the Hardy Boys series. In addition to reading, he likes swimming and playing the keyboard.

Meanwhile, Lionel of Lot 19 Locaber Village, West Canje, said she began reading books while she was still attending nursery school.

She aspires to become a pediatrician because she loves children, but more primarily after viewing a video of a child who lost his limbs because of a medical condition.

It is not all studying for the pre-teen as she is also actively involved in the Seventh-day Adventist Church, where she is among the children preachers.

She credits God, her parents, Pastor Naresh, her younger brother Leal, her class teachers and Headmaster Bassant Jagdeo for her success.
