There was jubilation as Britney Sweeney Samboja, daughter of Taita Taveta Governor Granton Samboja received good news after scoring an A-minus grade in the just-released KCSE results.

Sweeney who was a student at Kenya High attributed her success to, apart from hard work and God’s favour, great support from her parents and teachers.

“My family was the greatest support system in my entire high school life. My teachers played a major role as well and above all God has been my greatest support. My performance came as a surprise as I was not expecting to perform this better,” Britney said.

With the grade, Britney is confident about pursuing Interior Architecture course in Australia as has always been her dream.

Governor Samboja said that though he knew the academic ability of his daughter, it was a great surprise since he never expected her to post such a high grade.

He said that he is ready to sacrifice all to ensure his daughter’s dream to study in Australia is realized.

“I’m willing to support her in every way to ensure that she realizes her dream of being an interior architect even if it means selling my parcels of land,” he said.

The family received the good news while in Nyeri where they had gathered for a family function.

Britney’s mother Stella Samboja described her as a beautiful, smart and God-fearing girl and that she was sure she was going to be successful.

“She is very smart and obedient; just the way she is beautiful. I have never had any troubles with her in her upbringing and her success is well earned, “Stella said.
