A cross-section of the Chozen Generation Sierra Leone (CGSL) Executive has presented the Award of Excellence to Lorraine Pabs – Garnon, the best National Primary School Examination (NPSE) Pupil for 2022.

CGSL National Coordinator, Harry Henry Kargbo, handed Lorraine the award on Monday 19 September 2022 at the International School compound – Jomo Kenyatta Road, Freetown – during the school’s morning assembly.

Pabs-Garnon scored 337 in the 2022 NPSE, topping the 161,524 candidates that attempted this year’s examination.

“I feel very proud of myself and I am happy that I came first in the NPSE. I hope I continue to do well in my school work. I thank my parents and teachers for investing their time and effort in me. I dedicate this award to them,” Lorraine said

“I want to become a doctor after school. I want to help my people. I want to improve the health care system in the country.

“My message to my colleagues is that in order to go through or pass any examination, you must always be yourself, stay calm, read your notes very well and always crosscheck after you are done.”

In his short statement during the presentation, CGSL Mr. Kargbo said that the organization started giving out the Award of Excellence in 2020. He said the rationale behind the award is to recognize and celebrate hard work and excellence in Sierra Leone.

 

“Chozen Generation is a group of young professionals. We aim to train leaders in the spirit of hard work and excellence for the benefit of Sierra Leone. To achieve that, we believe we should identify and nurture leaders from a very young age as such, Mr. Kargbo said.

“We do this to inspire hardworking people, especially young people. We want them to be assured that if they strive for the top and attain excellence in the process, Chozen Generation will recognize and celebrate them and CGSL will continue to promote excellence in every facet of society.”
