Hard work pays off for Lucy
Every child’s dream in school is to do well in studies and leave a legacy behind, let alone put a smile on a parents face.
This is exactly what Lucy-Esther Benjamin did when she took out the dux award for grade 10 at Waigani Christian College.
An emotional Lucy-Esther, when speaking to Post-Courier, could not hold back her tears as she acknowledged the support of her parents, in particular her mum.
I want to thank my mum, she works hard everyday and that motivates me to put in extra effort into studies
I want to attend university in the future and become an independent woman.

Lucy-Esther took out first positions in English, personal development, mathematics, business studies and computer science. She got second placing in science and social science.
Proud father Jonathan Benjamin spoke humbly about her daughter, saying the family was delighted with her achievement.
We are proud of her achievement and thank our Heavenly Father as the source of wisdom, knowledge and understanding. We give praise to God that our daughter did well this year.
Mr Benjamin said there was no hidden truth in any other way than building a firm foundation in Christian principles. Her attitude and approach have always been positive to her family and other people.
Lucy-Esther is a obedient girl and her Christian upbringing has laid the foundation for where she is today.
Jonathan Benjamin, proud father,
Lucy-Esther does not only leave behind a shining legacy in the school but an example to many PNG young women who can beat all odds to reach such realm of intellectual capacity.
It also reminds other students about being obedient and having a positive character and commitment to studies.
