Many a student that graduate from secondary schools are often found deficit in their results grades and yet they would expect to tread gracefully during the competition for admission into their institution of choice, when there are clearly other with much higher grades. A lot of students also view the West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (WASSCE) as an impossible examination to pass, considering how much students struggle to pass it and yet fail in some important courses.But, this logic is defied by this young man who according to his results was identified as Asonye Abekwuchu Alvin. He is a 16 year old boy from Agbor in Rivers State and he has stunned several viewers with his amazing grades and results in various tests and examination he has taken. With his grade, I wonder if it were possible for any institution in the country to ever deny his admission into their citadel of learning. He surely would be much more likely to proceed with his academic than other students with similar courses.In three different examinations, Alvin was able to score distinctions and exceed the average marks. 

According to his WAEC which he wrote in Rivers State, his results were complete with the compulsory 9 subjects and it was astonishing to find out that he made clean distinctions in all the 9, though one was graded a B3.
