MY EXPERIENCE AT GRUNDTVIG

noble institution; it was like I was carried

torture. The strange faces I met, the supposed

leaving an independent young lady who is ready to
face the challenges of this life by God's grace. This
school taught me many things I did not think mattered. It was right in this school that I discovered that
education does not end in the classroom but extends to the society too. I learnt from this school, time
management which is very important in every aspect of life.

All the punishments I served while in this school which I thought were out of sheer wickedness, turned
out to build me morally. I appreciate the efforts of the teachers who gave me those punishments to see
that I become useful to myself, family and nation at large. So far, this is the end of my stay in Grundtvig
and I must confess that it has been a tough but memorable stay here and I enjoyed every bit of my stay in
this school.

I want to thank my parents for bringing me to this great citadel of learning, for all the sacrifices they
made to see me through this institution. I also want to thank Almighty God for leading me thus far in this
school. To all my junior friends: Vanessa, Chinaza, Onyinye Emeka, my family friend Chimamaka and
the JS 3 set of 2018/2019, I say; be determined, work hard and most importantly, pray as these are the
keys to your success.

To all my classmates, I wish you the best in your various fields of study. We shall one day meet again to
celebrate our success in future. To my special friends: Anita, Chidera, Vivian, Uzoma, Bill, Sharon and
others, we made it. Also to my brother, Joshua, who encouraged me in my academics, I want you to
know that you can make it, just strive harder and success will be yours at the end.
