            would express what memories hold. I fell and rose, I stumbled and was helped up. Thanks to the
            students and the diligent members of staff of GISS.


            Well, I cannot continue without giving a big shout to God for helping me throughout my stay at GISS.
            To my wonderful and lovely parents, without whom this journey wouldn't have been possible, I say a
            big thank you for your love and support. I also appreciate the efforts and contributions of all my teachers
            who enlightened me in the aspect of academic. To my siblings: Chiji, Tiffany and Oge, thanks a lot for
            adding flavor to my stay in GISS and to my junior and senior friends, thank you all.


            Finally, every era has its end. I have to come to the end of an era in this school. I want to appreciate in a
            special way, the most important part of this journey; my priceless set mates, the jewels of these amazing
            six years, the people that had always been there for me to make me laugh when I was sad and also to
            encourage me when all hopes were lost. Thanks a lot to the set of 2019 and a big BRAVO to them.


            This is not the end, but just a step to the next level. Now, I am leaving this location which is NOT THE
            FINAL DESTINATION.  I came, I saw and I conquered and now I am out.
