“What impact
can you make in this school”? Truly, I was short of words and scared. I
couldn't explain how it came out but I remembered saying that I would bring a great change to the
school. I stand this moment to say that I remain a special entity in the school.

In my six years at Grundtvig, there were so many temptations coming from students and teachers who
woke us from sleep, forced us to leave the hostels and go to classes, punished and corrected us with
words of admonition. I now fully understand that all those things were for a reason – my own good. It
actually helped to mould my life. I had the opportunity of being the facility prefect of my class.

My ability to graduate wouldn't have been possible without my lovely teachers who cared for, and
supported me. They all imparted me with the knowledge I have today. Lest I forget, I want to appreciate
my friends who made my stay in Grundtvig memorable. They include: Mesoma, Chidinma, Ubah,
Nancy, Obimto, Ilemoma, Nwokoye, Onuora, Kenechukwu, Ngige and many others. I will also like to
appreciate Mr. Emmanuel Anthony, the Admission Officer, who treated me like his only child. I also say
a very big thank you to my subject teachers and all the members of staff. Having good parents is the
greatest gift a child can have. So, with reference to that, I thank my parents, Mr. Keneth and Mrs.
Chinwe Nwosu for supporting me through hard times and for giving me the great opportunity of
attending this great citadel of learning.

Leaving this school is one of the happiest moments of my life and I thank God for watching over me
throughout my stay in the secondary school.

Goodbye Grundtvig!
