Shoot for the moon and if one misses you will still be one of the stars!

That is the philosophy of living of Berkeley Institute student Kenten Trott who wants to study either law or tourism, but his overall aim is to become a successful business man. He has always been an "A" student, but he advised students who are not up to par to find their best subject and the rest will follow.

Kenton said: "Try to find the one thing that you are good at and pursue that. For instance if you love science push your hardest and the rest will follow.

"In regard to the rest of your schooling, make up your mind that you will succeed. Always remember to shoot for the moon and even if you miss you will end up in the stars."

He said he always studies well ahead of time for any test or examination and prefers never to cram. "I always hand in assignments on time and I do my homework as I receive it on a daily basis.

"My best subjects are business, personal law, math, accounts, travel, tourism, marketing, Spanish and biology. There is no such thing as my worst subject."

The St. George's resident said he had always been an "A" and a high honours student and that he works hard to maintain it. He is also involved in Young Enterprise, working on the Yearbook, volunteer work at the Sunshine League, Leader in Training and the Radnor Road Christian Fellowship.

His hobbies include playing drums, repairing motorcycles, studying, playing computer games, soccer, basketball and cricket. Kenten, 17, who is a devout Christian said his favourite book is the bible.

His said his parents always spoke to him about attending university and that once he has finished a year abroad as a Rotary exchange student, he will attend University of Kent, in the United Kingdom. He hopes to not only become a successful business man, but also to be a loving son and family member, friend, mentor, husband and eventually a good father.
