Malaysian Lai Kai Rou said she had moments while she studying, when she felt like throwing in the towel and giving up, but she persevered because she realised that "it's part of my responsibility".
With 10 distinctions, the 16-year-old beat more than 37,000 students to emerge as Singapore's top scorer in the 2009 GCE O level examinations.
Speaking with RazorTV, she said she was very surprised as she did not have very high expectations of herself and according to her, was "never very excellent academically".
She said she owes her success to being focused and consistent, as well as to her school, CHIJ St. Nicholas Girls' School.
The school churned out 14 top scorers this year, the highest number in the school's history.As for her future, Kai Rou said she is now in a 'dilemma', and is deliberating between applying for Raffles or Hwa Chong Junior College.
