                                                                TO THE UNIVERSITY GATE

                                                       pending a day at GISS is a Herculean task let alone three
                                                       good years. When I first arrived at GISS, I was not really
                                                 Simpressed at all. It was just like every other school to me.
                                                 I kept on asking myself about international factors that were in
                                                 the school. But, alas, GISS was
                                                 so  very  determined  to  get  me
                                                 impressed and indeed I was.
                                                                                     We all created
                                                                                     beautiful
                                                 And  so,  after  spending  some     memories and
                                                 time  with  my  classmates,  I
                                                 gradually began to fit in. I began   enjoying ones at
                                                 to get used to their norms (rules   that. I am very
                                                 and regulations) and so before I    excited to leave
                                                 knew it, I became part and parcel   the school though
                                                 of the system.                      I might miss the
                                                                                     past, most

                                                 We  all  created  beautiful         especially the
                                                 memories and enjoying ones at       school's Drama
                                                 that. I am very excited to leave    Club which I was
                                                 the school though I might miss      once the co-
                                                 the  past,  most  especially  the   ordinator.
                                                 school's  Drama  Club  which  I
                                                 was once the co-ordinator.

           Again, being in Grundtvig taught me a lot of things especially that “no one should ever give up”

           This is home for us, set of 2k19. GISS fervently prepared us all for the future and now we are all going to
           face it. Personally, I always like experiences and challenges and I can be so determined to get what I
           want.


           How do I start writing a list of my friends: for they are many; Kroshina (Twine) Lorrex (Closie), Naza,
           Dera, Lemon, Jones, Vivz, Nancy(partner) Marchie (bestie) Uzoamaka (Roomie), Ebube (Closie),
           Anita, Eze C., Ikpe (Bestie), soft, Obinito (Bros) to mention but a few. You all really made my stay in
           Grundtvig both annoying and comfortable. I love you all and I will really miss you guys.

           Moreover, I will never forget to appreciate my parents for what they have done for me. GISS gave me a
           solid foundation and I am proud to go into the world and call myself a GISS ex-student.

           To my teachers, we went through some ridiculous moments together and those times that you people
           spent trying to encourage us were not wasted. Although some times, those moments were annoying, I
           guess they were worth it.


           Well to GISS, a big salute to you. GISS is the only school I know that can accommodate miscreants in a
           large number and transform them until they turn into new leaves. I hope 2k19 made you proud. I hope I
           made you proud.

           To my Junior ones, I say you are really privileged to be in a school of this calibre. Enjoy your
           opportunity and make your parents and the school proud.

           I never gave up. Don't give up.
