The Year 6 pupil from Grove Vale Primary School in Great Barr has been honoured with the Maclaren Scholarship to Summer Fields School in Oxford as well as a coveted place in Eton College which boasts alumni such David Cameron, as well as royals Prince William and Prince Harry.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m leaning towards politics,\u201d says Amay. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t mind being Prime Minister one day, that would be nice.<\/p>\n
43-year-old Ajaykumar Chaurasia, proud father of Amay adds: \u201cI\u2019m a very middle class man who came to this country from India to give my children a better education and a better life.<\/p>\n
\u201cAmay has proved that if you\u2019re passionate about something, and have determination and dedication, then no-one can stop you from achieving your goals.\u201d<\/p>\n
Amay\u2019s dream of becoming Prime Minster may not be so far fetched. If achieved, he could become the 20th<\/sup> Prime Minister produced by Eton.<\/p>\n The prosperous young boy is set to begin his educational journey in 2017 at Summer Fields School and then to Eton College in 2019, an education that could have cost the Chaurasia family up to \u00a363,000.<\/p>\n \u201cI never thought I\u2019d get the chance to go to such a nice school,\u201d says the eleven-year-old schoolboy. \u201cI was quite satisfied with myself when I heard the news.<\/p>\n \u201cI still rely on my parents for a lot in my life, but this opportunity will give me a lot of independence, and I think that will be beneficial for my future.<\/p>\n \u201cIn saying that, I wouldn\u2019t be anywhere without my parents. If I didn\u2019t have them, I wouldn\u2019t have gotten as far as I have. I want to thank them for everything they have done for me.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Year 6 pupil from Grove Vale Primary School in Great Barr has been honoured with the Maclaren Scholarship to Summer Fields School in Oxford as well as a coveted place in Eton College which boasts alumni such David Cameron, as well as royals Prince William and Prince Harry. \u201cI\u2019m leaning towards politics,\u201d says Amay.
