Hard word is the success. Mithurika comes first in Jaffna
Success is the hard work, was said by Vembadi Ladies College student Migunthan Mithurika who had achieved to come in the first place in the Biology section in the entire Jaffna District at the recently released G.C.E.Advanced Level examination results.
Concerning her success she gave a special interview to "Udayan" print media said, the examination results give me much pleasure. I consider this as a gift for my perseverance. “I immediately revise the lessons of the day and get involved to other work”.
Due to this practice, education was not a burden to me. If we revise our lessons daily which are taught to us, grasping the lessons would be very easy. I thank all my teachers who were much assistance to my success.
