THIS TIME LAST YEAR, Shemar Weekes was the child who was identified as the one who “made it against the odds”.
And at last Wednesday morning’s graduation at Gordon Walter’s Primary, the late boy’s memory served as a reminder to students to see the beauty in themselves.
“He sat there around this same time last year . . . That pleasant, handsome, young man climbed those steps to receive the inaugural trophy from the Miss Single And Progressive 2013 winner, Tamika Newton, for the child who had made it against the odds. One year later, young Shemar Weekes no longer walks among men,” principal Tyrone Marshall said at the ceremony held at the Christ Church Parish Centre.
“It seems that some way, some how, Shemar lost sight of his true worth, he seemed perhaps to be blindsided by the negativity of this world, and he no longer saw how precious he really was.” (GBM)
