Best boy ‘elated and thankful’

HIS TEACHER is at the centre of his world.
In the classroom she is ma’am. At home, she is mum. But 11-year-old Zerayaicob Yaicob said he was never a teacher’s pet.
Zerayaicob, the top boy in this year’s Common Entrance Examination with a total of 248.39 A, is a toast of The Rock Christian School.
He would be the first to tell you that although his mother was also his teacher, he received no special treatment and had to work equally as hard as his classmates to gain 97 in English and 98 in mathematics. (AH)
