PERSISTENCE and hard work, including staying up until the wee hours of the morning to study, have finally paid off for Priety Kaur Jessy, who scored straight As in her Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination.

The youngest of four siblings could not hold back tears when she saw the results on her SPM slip as she did not expect to get nine As, including seven A+.
