Outstanding Student Recognition 🤩

My name is Edisa Eugene. I am 17 years old. I am currently studying Tourism, Sociology and Entrepreneurship at the A-level department at the Vieux -Fort Comprehensive Secondary School. I am a student of class lower 6A. I recently took part in the Idea Generation Competition for Global Entrepreneurship Week where I captured second place. You may ask, "What spiked my interest to participate in the entrepreneurship competition?" Well, Let's just say Nature inspired me. Going to the countryside every weekend and seeing so many bamboo plants I felt like I needed to make good use of them. Since I was unaware of what I wanted to do I asked God for guidance. A few minutes after my conversation with God a pictures of my product ( Hot &Cold Bamboo Bottles ) was painted in my brain. From that time I realised I was really interested in the comepetion since I would be producing something local, affordable, eco-friendly and beneficial to society since I aim to encourage persons to stay away from plastic bottles which is bad for our health especially storing our beverages for long periods. This competition meant so much to me. Although I was confident that my product would impress the judges, I was still afraid of the end results. As the saying goes "Hard work pays off", I am proud to say that my hard work really paid off. This was indeed a hallmark achievement for me. As a student with the aspirations to be a guidance counselor while I run my own business I saw this achievement as a boost to continue working towards my goals. As I continue to celebrate I would like to encourage every young unemployed soul in St.Lucia to think of ways to promote change in society. Be your own boss !

Outstanding Student Recognition 💯

My name is Amy Antoine, a student of Lower 6 B at the A level department of the Vieux Fort Comprehensive Secondary School. I am currently studying Tourism, Sociology and Entrepreneurship.
As soon as Miss Sinaise mentioned the 'Idea Generation Competition' for Global Entrepreneurship week to us as a class, I saw this as an opportunity to showcase my wooden curtain rods to potential customers. Out of fourteen presentations I managed to secure first place and my colleague Edisa Eugene came out second.
I was extremely confident with my product but somewhat surprised when I emerged the winner of the competition. I came up with the idea when my family moved into our new home ten years ago and we were looking for a way to have privacy through the use of curtains.
However, we did not want to use the old fashioned rope method of hanging our curtains and the curtain rods that were sold in stores were very expensive. Therefore, i experimented a little and came up with the 'wooden curtain rods' idea.
At first, I was not satisfied with how the competition was organized because both my Colleague and I were not able to finish our presentation; however, this was a very good experience for me because I got to see a lot of different ideas by presented various students.
This was indeed a great achievement for me and the experience will serve as a motivation for my future endeavours. I would like to take this opportunity to encourage the young people of St Lucia to strive for more than just getting a good job. Be innovative and creative! Be your own boss!
