For her, what was crucial to her success was prioritising and planning well to guarantee her success.

Her interest in all of the subjects was also a plus; she only did the subjects she wanted to learn about and was comfortable pursuing.

Her mother, Dorinda Roberts, who is a teacher at the Aurora Secondary School, said that the family was keen on providing whatever support was necessary.

First, that meant supporting Solomon’s pursuit of 18 subjects. Then, when that number increased to 21, the family remained steadfast in their support.

Fortunately, the family and Solomon’s teachers were confident in her abilities. She was credited as being a high flyer since Form One.

And despite expected nerves before the announcement of the results on Monday, Roberts knew Solomon would perform exceptionally.

With these results, the young woman now looks forward to a career in medicine.

Importantly too, like many of her colleagues at the Anna Regina school, she hopes that her academic pursuits would be enough to get her a scholarship.
