| We've got the right attitude
Students from Green Island High School show off their certificates. LUCEA, Hanover - Hanover's highly successful Youth Transformation programme, which continues to train hundreds of youths in the parish for the job market, recently graduated just over 100 students from two high schools with certificates of participation in the 'Principles and Practice of Positive Attitudes and Good Work Ethics'. The training and development programme, administered by social worker Archibald Edwards, developed the two-week home study programme from a special manual called the 'Obama Inspiration' with the motto: 'I can achieve' which promotes positive attitudes and strong core values for a rewarding career. The subjects included positive mental attitudes, self- esteem, time management, personal responsibility and initiative, stress management, listening skills, interpersonal skills, team building, setting and achieving goals and the discipline of hard work. The students from Green Island and Merlene Ottey High Schools lauded the training programme and spoke highly of its effectiveness, adding that the pilot project, which Edwards said is to be replicated in other schools, gave them inspiration to be more positive and focused. "It helped me to develop a passion to excel academically and inspired me to achieve my career goals," said Rhadecia Bauldie of Green Island High. Added Sabrina Quarrie, head girl of Green Island:
"It helped me to be more organised and to manage my time
better." - Keril Wright
