Another Memory Of ooo

came as a new student in G.I.S.S. two years ago. Then, I was just
another girl looking for fun and adventure and I thought that G.I.S.S.
Iwould be the right place; after all, coming to G.I.S.S. would be my first
experience as a boarder. I certainly was not used to waking up at 5am every
morning, eating at specific times, being
bound in one particular environment at all
times and being expected to follow all the How can I forget

Mmesoma were the most caring set of
people that I had ever come across. I will surely cherish for life the funny
and the serious moments we shared. I will truly miss our smiles, laughter,
insults and tears together. I am happy to know that we all succeeded.

Apart from the people listed above, I also met some crazy, caring, funny and
indifferent characters in G.I.S.S. Frankly, it was not easy dealing with each
and every person in the 2k19 set. But I guess I am still one of the weirdos
among the set. We were all unique and exceptional.

How can I forget Alpha class? It was an indomitable class with only five girls. It was not easy, I tell you.
Those times we cracked jokes together, lied together and even gave hell to our Form Teacher, Mr. Tim
Udechukwu, I can never forget you all.

To my juniors that never once disappointed me (if you know what I mean) JS2, SS1 and others, I'm going to
miss you all. Onyi, I enjoyed the time we spent together (with me mostly annoying you). My wonderful
little brother, I hope you won't feel that I have abandoned you in G.I.S.S.

To G.I.S.S., I owe you a bountiful gratitude to the Executive Director, Director, the Principal, Vice
Principals and teachers. With your unusual methods, you were able to make the 2k19s a success story.
Thanks for your dedication and steadfastness.

To those that I am leaving behind, let me leave something behind as well. Do well to never forget:
Life is a wonder – discover it.
Life is a puzzle -complete it.
Life is a jungle - survive it.
Life is an adventure - embrace it.
This is education for life!!!
