The Biography of Nekesha Adams

Miss Lotto

I was born on April 22^nd, 1987, at the Milton Cato Memorial Hospital to Juliet and Wendell Adams. However, at the age of 2, I moved to the Grenadine Isle of Union Island where my father’s family resides.

I attended the Stephanie Browne Primary School and after successfully completing the Common Entrance examination, I entered the Union Island Secondary School (UISS), where my life became much clearer to me. My first year was marked by the death of my best friend and cousin. She was filled with life and energy and it pained me greatly when she was taken from this world.

From the moment of my cousin’s death, I decided that I was going to work hard in life and in doing so I would be able to take my mind off of my loss. I became an A student throughout my five years at UISS, sitting 9 CXC subjects and passing all with 5 distinctions. I am very proud of myself and of my achievements, not only in academics but also in my  extra curricula activities.

In first form I was class prefect; in third form I took part in the Secondary Schools’ Science Fair and won second place; I was part of the Girls’ Basketball Team at UISS and was awarded the George Phillips Award which is given to top students in fourth forms around St. Vincent & Grenadines. During these years I was interested in both science and business but I had also developed secret love for entertainment, specifically singing. Looking for opportunities to showcase and develop my talent, I began participating in talents shows and pageants.

After graduating from UISS I attended the Community College in St. Vincent and graduated with 3 A’ Levels; my advanced level studies allowed me to explore new avenues and explore new interests.

At A’ Levels I acquired a penchant for law, and I have resolved that if I do not make it in the world of business and entertainment, law is a field I would consider pursuing as it is the only other discipline that grasped my attention and intrigued me during my studies.

In the end it does not matter what my profession is, be it business, entertainment or law, as long as I am successful in my chosen field. In my opinion if Benazir Bhutto can be president of a country as highly sexist as Pakistan, I know that nothing should stop me from pursuing my dreams.
