DAILY NEWS Reporter
THE top most girl countrywide in the recently announced Standard Seven National Examinations, Justina Gerald from Tusiime Primary School wants to be an accountant and a business proprietor once she is through with her higher learning studies.

Justina, who was the fourth and the only girl in the top ten list of best pupils countrywide, said the secret to her success lies in knowing why she was in school and the fact that her parents and the community were closely monitoring her performance.
“Hard work and knowing why you are in school will definitely get you good results at the end..I honestly want to express my gratitude to teachers at Tusiime and the management for their relentless efforts in pushing us to study,” Justina said when she was interviewed by Tanzania Broadcasting Corporation (TBC1).
She explained that from early on, she noted that her parents and other people around her were following her performance closely, forcing her to put more efforts in her studies. Justina noted that her desire is to be an accountant or a business woman once she completes her higher education.
Her mother, Ms Edna Majaliwa expressed her appreciation to Tusiime management and teachers for their efforts that saw her daughter clinch the fourth position in the country and the leading girl in the Standard Seven results.
