I want to thank my parents for making it
possible for me to attend a school such as GISS.
Most of all, I would like to give all the glory to
Almighty God for the provision of life, health,
wealth and all other blessings. Indeed, the
lessons I learnt here are unforgettable. Through
the struggles and sweats, l've learnt that nothing
good comes easy. Through the cautioning from
the teachers, I've learnt that to whom much is
given, much is deserved. Through the friends,
I've made. I've learnt that people come into our
lives as blessings although some come as
lessons. Through the people I can practically call my family, I've learnt that home is wherever you make
it. And finally, through this wonderful school, I've learnt that true greatness is attained when you aid
other people's paths to greatness, just as my school has done.

GISS has created, is creating and will continue to create more people who will lead our society unto
greatness. GISS builds people to be great. It is life-changing, it is great. Once again, I say thank you, as
she has done the same thing for us as other past sets. And, as I said before I shall say again, “I am proud
of my alma mater. For she has shown me the silver lining on my dark cloud”
