Akeaba Singh

FGGIRLS have been breaking barriers over the years, advancing themselves professionally, academically and even athletically. Akeaba Singh, a 16-year-old Sixth Form student of St. Stanislaus College, is one such girl who has been challenging herself to be an all-rounder.
The aspiring neurologist is steadfast in her quest to achieve her goals.

Her journey started just after completing her studies at the St. Joseph High School this year. Singh immediately enrolled in the science field at St. Stanislaus College where she intends to excel.

“I want to be successful in life but aside from pursuing a career in neurology, I aspire to inspire, motivate people, make my environment a friendly place and most importantly make myself and parents proud,” she said.
Although her studies require a lot of attention, Singh has managed to balance her life with books, sports and co-curricular activities.

She has been actively involved in hockey, swimming and even debating. Singh had the opportunity to captain her high school’s hockey team in Trinidad and Tobago at the Paragon’s Hockey Tournament where the school brought second place.
The aspiring neurologist had also been involved in the national leg of the local swimming competition.

She also proved herself as a good debater during Youth Parliament 2017 and the
JOF Haynes debating championships.
Those achievements, she said, will serve as a motivator for her as she strives to achieve her goals and aspirations.

“My parents have also made great sacrifices to ensure that I am where I am, so they are my main motivators and supporters,” said Singh.
She challenged young people to also do their best and always remember that self-esteem is important.

“Believing you can do it, believing you deserve it and believing you will get it,” she said, adding that just as Willie Nelson said: “positive thoughts breed positive results, so think positive,” she said.
