THE TRIUMPHANT END
t's ironical how I started my life story in
secondary school. I entered this school
Iin my JS 1. I thought I was leaving
bondage and going into freedom. I was so
excited that
I didn't even
cry when I
was leaving I would like to
h o m e . appreciate those
When I got who made this
i n t o t h e testimony worth
s c h o o l , I telling. I had fun,
had a lot of ups, downs, cries,
challenges, bugs, jealousy and
n o t o n l y every other
f r o m t h e emotion. But
n o r m a l amidst all these,
s c h o o l my life here was
p r o g r a m s generally a
b u t a l s o testimony.

students who usually punished people who
came late for different programs. I felt like
leaving because I thought it would be just
like my primary school life. I quickly
realized that my main purpose of coming to
this great institution was to achieve a goal. I would like to appreciate those who made this testimony
worth telling. I had fun, ups, downs, cries, bugs, jealousy and every other emotion. But amidst all these,
my life here was generally a testimony.

However, my life at Grundtvig International Secondary School, Oba will always be a testimony. When I
came in here, I met very captivating teachers and students who made my stay pleasant. Most times, I got
into trouble but that was part of the testimony and I am glad I went through them. During my years in
Grundtvig, I had lots of fun and I thought leaving will affect me seriously; leaving my friends, class
mates, teachers and moving into another environment to start afresh is not an easy task. This great
school taught me a lot of things, most especially discipline in all I do. Punctuality was one of the things I
learnt from this school. It was actually very difficult getting used to all the rules but I had to choose
between adapting or facing the consequences of disobedience, ranging from minor punishments to
expulsion from the school.

At Grundtvig, I came across different characters including staff and students. I met people who love
frustrating others and people who just make your day wonderful and enjoyable. The moral lessons I
learnt are not just to be forgotten because they really made me who I am today, we were also taught to
submit to discipline and treatments we considered unfair for all were for our good.

To all my friends and those I'm leaving behind, my advice to you is to always uphold hardwork and
discipline. Also put more effort in your academics and always make your parents smile. Thanks.
