Teen of The Week
Millicent Likes Macbeth
STUDENT of St. John’s College, Millicent Thomas says the Education Ministry has improved conditions at her school and she is grateful.
She says she is now much more comfortable after the Ministry last term repaired part of the deteriorating building and put down new toilets for girls to be in use from this week.
But, Millicent adds, “Part of the building is still old and rotting, especially the part at the back where 1 am.’’
The fourteen-year-old fourth former plans to write Mathematics, English, Geography, Chemistry, Biology, Literature and Physics at the NFFAT exam in April. “I think it will be easy for me, especially for Maths and Biology my two favourite subjects.”
She looks forward to sitting this exam since, she says, it gives the chance of having “something like a trial before CXC and GCE.” Exam fees, she feels are “not too bad, because if you know you’re paying no money you wouldn’t have much interest in the exam.” ”
The Pisces-born teen enjoys playing indoor games, singing or dancing during her spare time. Her favourite songs are soul and funk and she likes singers Whitney Houston and Tiffany. She is also learning how to make bags and other items from tibisiri straw, from her aunt, a craft teacher.
Millicent who has two brothers, likes to read too, and Shakespeare’s Macbeth is one of the books she has enjoyed most.
“I like Macbeth, he is my favourite character.”
