negative and positive aspects. It has taught me to know what is good and
this has given me the guide on how to make right decisions. These six years I spent in this school was not

Honestly, life in Grundtvig was just more than what I thought it was. The philosophy of the school,
“EDUCATION FOR LIFE” has really guided me.

Now, a special recognition to my friends who were there for me in good times, hard times and also in
times of trouble. They are Uzoma (a clown herself) Nancy (Dearest) Adaeze (Sisi mee) Umeozulu,
Chendo, Vivian, (Troublesome Roomie) Chidera Nwaokafor, Jane, Blessing, Oluoma, Chinasa (My

Ezeonu, Juliet, Onyinye Emeka, Onyia, Adanna, Ekeogu and others too numerous to mention. Truly,
they really showed me what friendship is.

Also to the people who made it possible for me to attend a great school of this caliber, I mean my lovely
parents; Mr and Mrs EMMANUEL NNEBE, thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to come
here. Not all had this opportunity but I have been blessed with irreplaceable gift; my parents. Thank you
so much for your love.
