Thanks to my parents

THE EDITOR, Sir:

HAVING GROWN up in humble circumstances, as a child, walking the streets and sometimes ekking out a living on people's farms, were what defined my existence.

Without going into much detail, this letter is intended to be twofold:

(1) to thank all those including my foster parents ­ Mr and Mrs McLean of Southfield in St. Elizabeth, as well as all the others who saw my capabilities and pushed me for self-improvement.

(2) to encourage youngsters, my fellow Jamaicans, especially from the inner cities, who see no hope beyond their present circumstances, to be ambitious and to strive for excellence.

I could continue, but this is not an autobiography.

Again, thanks to all those who have made my educational success possible.

I am, etc.,

KINGSLEY J. WRAY,

Dip. Ed. Mico, BA (Hons.)
