Georgetown: Guyana's Top Student, Anthony Ferreira, who gained 568 marks at the NGSA exams. He attends the Mae's Under 12 School in Georgetown. Ferreira shares the top spot with Aryan Singh of the Dharmic Rama Krishna School.
An aspiring technological engineer, Ferreira stated that his accomplishment took him by surprise as he did not expect to have copped the number one spot in Guyana though he was confident that he would have done well.
“I was expecting to get a top school but not so far up… I feel great about my accomplishment, I am overjoyed about getting 1st in the country. I felt like I was going to do great like getting in the top 10 but not exactly getting 1st in the country…thank you so much to my parents, teachers, they helped me throughout the way, I prayed every night and it came through,” the young boy posited.
His advice to other students who will be sitting the NGSA examinations next year is to ensure that they focus solely on their studies and put aside distractions. “I would probably tell them to respect their parents, because their parents would give them choices even though they may not like it, like giving up their games and their phones or maybe just giving up a little bit time on the TV to study more. They need to focus on their work really hard, they can’t focus on anything else. They have to be totally focused on their work,” Ferreira added.
