But despite a very rough life, Rowe was the only child who passed the Common Entrance from his district that year, gaining a place at the prestigious Munro College in the parish.
"No one was expecting me to pass, let alone pass for Munro, because of how poorly I attended school. So I remember I didn't even check the papers when results came out," he explained.
But Rowe did not have much time to bask in his success, as he was immediately confronted with the reality that if his grandmother could hardly afford to send him to the nearby primary school, how much more difficult would it be to board at Munro.
