It’s been my pleasure this week to read in the local Cornish newspapers of the outstanding achievements of local students attending Truro college who received record A-level results last Thursday that propelled Truro College to 9th in the national league table of results!
Among them were 3 students who achieved 5 A-level passes at grade A – a truly remarkable acheivement and no doubt in response to their determination, hard work and support of their families and friends. They included Ruhul Choudbury from my home town Truro who is to study clinical science at the Peninsula Medical School, Oliver Bent from Penzance who is off to Oxford to study Engineering Science and James Freeman from Helston who is off to the University of Bath to study maths. I say congratulations to all three of you as I’m sure many others will agree.
Another incredible achievement was that of Hannah Richards from Ludgvan who achieved three grade As despite being involved in a near fatal car accident in the year. Following the accident, Hannah spent three days in the Intensive Care Unit at the Royal Cornwall Hospital where my wife is a nurse and where Hannah underwent five seperate operations to repair the physical damage she sustained in the accident. She also received physiotheraphy treatment and re-learned how to walk. Despite her terrible injuries and trauma, she was able to return to her studies, astounding her family, college tutors and friends with her determination to not let the accident or her injuries set her back or deter her from achieving her goal of going to university. Hannah achieved three grade As in Law, Psychology and Sociology and is now off to Cardiff university to study pyschology. Congratulations Hannah, when you’ve finished your studies and if you want to return to Cornwall to live and work, I’ll make room for you in my company, exactly the sort of person I would love to have working with me. enjoy your studies and your time in Wales, I loved the place when I used to go there on holidays!
