Ask them what sets them apart from the others, “We are twins!!” they exclaimed quickly. In one of the rarest case in the history of Nagaland Board of School Education (NBSE), the beautiful, shy and confident twins Medeno Peseyie and Mesano Peseyie from Fernwood School Kohima, secured the top five and tenth positions in the HSLC exams 2014, results for which were declared on Wednesday.
With a difference of just two marks between the two siblings, Mesano Peseyie scored a total of 567 marks (94.50%) placing her in the fifth position, while Medeno Peseyie scored 564 marks (94%), landing her in the tenth position.
Hailing from Jotsoma Village and born to Khrielelie Peseyie and Kelepino Peseyie, the 17 year old twins usually study six to seven hours in a day. In their leisure time, they love watching sitcoms like ‘How I Met Your Mother.’ But their favourite is ‘New Girl,’ the twins reveal. They also love reading books and playing violin. Their favorite authors are Charles Dickens and Jane Austen. Both plan to pursue Science, Biology being their favorite subject, from Kohima Science College and they aspire to join the medical service.
It was a poignant moment for the Peseyie family on April 30. Khrielelie Peseyie had retired from the service as an Additional Director of SCERT, the same day the NBSE results were declared. “I couldn’t give much time to my girls. But they have really worked hard,” said Khrielelie Peseyie, father of the twins and a former teacher whose job required him to work in Mokokchung, Dimapur and finally Kohima.
The father has to add that there is nothing that beats hard work and without hard work achievements are impossible. “Never let the obstacles before you bring you down. Also have faith in God,” the twins add.
