      Isn’t the BVI surrounded by water? Then the BVI is also called an island. People in this territory behave as if they’re superior to other islands but their mental capacity isn’t far off from chickens and ants.

    Dr Potter taught me social studies at the then BVI High School in 1985 first form. She was one of my favorite teachers back then. Congratulations to her on this appointment!
