“I Was Determined to Persevere in Spite of Severe Challenges” - Says UG’s 2024 Valedictorian

Shaneeza Persaud, University of Guyana’s 2024 Valedictorian

This graduation season at the University of Guyana, we honour the incredible journeys of those who are the first in their families to achieve a university degree. For these graduates, earning a degree means more than personal success—it’s a victory for their families and communities. Their stories reflect resilience, ambition, and a deep commitment to creating new paths for future generations. Below, we feature a few of these trailblazers whose academic journeys will no doubt serve as an inspiration to many others.

For two pairs of siblings, this year’s graduation at the University of Guyana marks an extraordinary moment of family pride and achievement. Nicholas and Manisha Sagadaya, along with Xavi and Jomaine Greenidge, are among those celebrating a unique milestone at UG: graduating side by side. United by shared challenges, support, and the special experience of earning a degree alongside a sibling, they reflect on the bonds that carried them through, celebrating not only their academic achievements but also the powerful connections that brought them here.

Graduation is often a personal milestone, but for Jermaine Johnson and his daughter, Jasmaine Johnson, it is a shared success—a moment of family pride and accomplishment. This week, the father-daughter duo will walk across the stage to receive their diplomas, a beautiful achievement that speaks volumes about love, perseverance, and family bonds.
