          and narrow roads and came out successfully. Even if I don't leave this school as the best graduating
          student, I know I have achieved many great things. Grundtvig is like a stepping stone to soar like an eagle.

          I want to give a shout out to my set-mates, my special friends; Joy, Dim, Bill, Amaka, Sharon, Kristina,
          Kosi, too many to count and a shout out to my parents Engr. & Mrs. Aprioku who had always picked me
          up when I fell and provided everything I needed . Then a very big shout out to my fine and caring sister,
          Sharon Apirioku who showed me the good path. She made me to understand that all that glitters is not
          gold. Even when I was annoying, she ignored me. She is a sister indeed. A law in physics states that “to
          every action, there is an opposite reaction. The reaction to my actions in school is wow! To my set-mates
          again, I love you. Thanks for making Grundtvig a cool place. We were always there for one another.

          Finally,  words  for  my  set-mates  “we  shall  meet  another  day  and  now  I  say  goodbye  to  you,  my
          countdown continues in 5,4,3,2,1,0 level up!! 2k19 rocks.
