DAYNA SAMAROO
Life for me is not about only about the constant study of Law; but it’s also
about getting the right mix. No, not the mix on a disc but the most important mix between academics and keeping fit. My name is Dayna Samaroo, a
student who has just completed year one of the LLB degree program and
for my extra-co-curricular activity, I am competitively involved in the sport
of table-tennis. I have been playing this sport consistently for the last seven
years and as a result I have achieved many feats during this short space of
time.
So far my achievements are:
Registered player with the Trinidad and Tobago Table-Tennis Association.
National table-tennis player who has represented Trinidad and Tobago at the Caribbean Championships.
Recipient of 8 national table-tennis awards for ranking amongst the
top five under 18 and under 21 girls.
A collection of 34 trophies and 15 medals.
One national and zonal title accredited to my name.
