‘Examination is not the best way to asses a student’—I remember arguing for the motion during my Adisadel College days. But all around the world, it’s being used as the ‘test of smartness’ and we’ve all accepted it…
Therefore, based on the acceptable convention, it wouldn’t be cruel to say that Yvonne Nelson is not that smart—as she failed the then Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination twice.
I am not being mean but if you gain a spot at Aggrey Memorial Secondary School and you have to write the same examination with students from Wesley Girls, HolyChild School, Adisadel College, Mfansipim School and the others, it’s highly probably that you are going to fail unless you are a very smart kid.
Perhaps, this explains why most of us studied so hard those days to pass our BECE so to get into the top first class schools—guaranteeing an easy SSSCE pass.
In a recent interview, Yvonne Nelson spoke about her come back spirit—stating that, she failed her SSSCE and even failed the following Nov-Dec examination too.
In fact, she had to re-write the examination the following year to pass, with which she got admission into Central University. Even this, GhanaCelebrities.Com is told it was a borderline pass—pretty obvious.
Though Yvonne Nelson is not the smartest chick in the room, she has done pretty well for herself—her human aggression for success works better than her ability to understand E=MC2.
This is the reason why if you ever meet Yvonne Nelson, you shouldn’t try to talk to her about philosophy or cosmology; just stick to simple subjects like Louis Vuitton, Makeup, Nail Polish, Instagram photo editing techniques and if you decide to push it a little far, drop it at first class travel experiences…
Then you will have a brilliant conversation!
