My six years in
secondary school included three years with
different families. My last three years were the
most splendid and memorable of my secondary
school days. I met and interacted with people of
different characters and ideology. I enjoyed being part of the “ALPHA CLAN”-a clan (or class) I will
never forget in a haste; a class replete with love and fun.

I would love to thank my teachers for igniting the fire that raised the quest in me to becoming a
successful Engineer. I desire to be successful and beneficial not only to myself, but also to my country
and the world at large.

I will not forget my friends, who were with me through thick and thin; during the good and the tough
times. They were the wings with which I flew. They were my support, my comforters and my advisers.
My gratitude goes to my family for being unflinchingly supportive to me throughout my secondary
education journey. May God bless you most bountifully!

To the set of 2019, we came, we saw, we conquered and we changed lives. As we go out to the world,
let's positively change the lives of everyone we meet, and in one way or another, change the world. You
all played a great part in whom I am today. I appreciate every moment I spent with you. Now, I charge
us, wherever we find ourselves, let's endeavour to leave an indelible mark for posterity sakes.

A very special thanks to my two lovely friends- Dim and Ursy for this wonderful essay. You truly were
amazing.

I came to a school, found a home and now, I am most reluctant to say good-bye.
God bless you all at G.I.S.S.!
