“I am extremely honoured to be a guest of honour at the UWI Matriculation Function because to be only eleven years old and to be honoured by such an institution, I truly am grateful,” wrote the country’s top placed SEA scholar. She’d maintained a “continuous study pattern,” that did not mean shutting down extra activities. And what does Rebecca-Ann see for her future? “For now, I am thinking about becoming a veterinarian, this is because I love animals and the science field. I also like Law and French.” Rebecca-Ann was one of 16 students celebrated by The UWI at the Matriculation ceremony on September 13. Deputy Principal of the St. Augustine Campus, Professor Rhoda Reddock presented her with a token from the University she might one day attend. |
She signed her name in full – Rebecca-Ann Shania Jattan – at the end of her hand-written responses to some questions we’d asked. The careful script and the orderly presentation suggested that she had laboured somewhat over it because it was a grand moment of her life – which was The UWI’s intention when it first began honouring the top SEA performers ten years ago at its Matriculation ceremony.
