My kid brother is a rockstar. He’s all over the newspapers in UK!! The little dude has trumped the GCSE with 16 A*. And yet the shining Star of the family is wary of all the fuss everyone is making of him. ‘The media’s really taking it too far,’ he says. Well, that’s the media’s job. Here’s the story on him published in the Telegraph:
GCSE results: Unnat Krishna ‘utterly amazed’ at 16 A*s
Unnat, 16, from Stourbridge, beamed as he opened his results at King Edward VI Five Ways School in Bartley Green, Birmingham.
He will now take his A-levels and hopes to study medicine at university.
“I cannot quite describe how I feel,” he said. “I am really shocked and surprised. I thought I would get about 10 or 11 A*s but I never expected 16.
“I did work hard – I am utterly amazed.”
Unnat took 14 GCSEs and an AS Level, which is the equivalent of two GCSEs. His results are believed to be a school record.
Today proved to be an expensive day for his parents, who had promised him a PlayStation game for every A* he gained.
“We’ve got 16 games to buy now,” said his mother, Dr Anjana Sinha. “I’m so proud of him – it’s overwhelming. He is very hard-working and has always been bright.”
Unnat’s father, Dr Kanhaiya Krishna, said: “We are so proud. I knew from the beginning that he would get 13 plus A*s but I did not expect him to get 16. It’s a big surprise.”
Unnat achieved A* grades in GCSE biology, chemistry, English literature, geography, German, history, Latin, maths, physics, religious studies, statistics, English, ICT (information and communication technology) and geology.
His AS-level was in science and public understanding, worth two GCSEs. Several other students at the selective grammar school also scored top marks, with 12 achieving A* grades in at least 10 subjects.
