She was so moved she was by own success, that a Thanksgiving Service was held on her behalf last Sunday at St. Augustine’s Anglican Church, at East End, at which Bishop Errol Brooks and Reverend Menes Hodge officiated. It was attended by a large number of invited persons.
Bishop Brooks commended her on her outstanding success and academic prowess and for her spirit of thankfulness. He said she had taken the right step to show thanks and appreciation to God for His leading in her life.
Michelle was one of three students who graduated in her particular area of study and one of 70 students overall who received Masters Degrees. Michelle maintained a remarkable ‘A’ average throughout her studies and has received high commendation for her dissertation of 80,000 words. She was highly commended for the soundness of her dissertation, excellent command of the English Language and for adding rich and new insights to the body of literature on school violence in the Caribbean context.
