Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson has advised that
opting for remedial classes to sit for failed papers after Senior High
School (SHS) isn’t a good practice and should not be encouraged.
According to her, she got entangled in entertainment affairs during her SHS days that she limited time she had for books.
She explained that, failing and making time to re-sit for some papers
after school was a herculean task and she wouldn’t wish that for any
student.
“I would go on stage every Saturday in SHS. I had to rewrite some
papers. I was so into entertainment that I didn’t take my schooling
serious. You can easily mess up and not make it to university. I regret
not paying attention to my books so when I see kids of today, I tell
them to pay attention to their books,” she revealed in an interview on
JoyFm.
Ms Nelson stressed on the relevance of paying heed to climbing the educational ladder regardless of career path.
“I was in Central University. And it wasn’t easy mixing sets with
classes. I had to make up my mind. It was tough. Nigerian producers were
giving me juicy offers and I was torn between accepting the offers or
not. But, I had to focus on school and I was so happy to have graduated,
I didn’t want to defer,” she added.
