FINISHED BUT UNFINISHED

h! My God!!! It is really unbelievable that I am
graduating from this great institution. Though there
Owere strict rules which left most of us frustrated, those
strict rules actually guided me throughout my three years at
Grundtvig. There were lots of

students. I disliked and tried to Being a new

Thanks to my friends. Being a
new student wasn't easy for me
because I was a shy person, and cold, sometimes. But now I am leaving as a totally different person.
Thanks to my teachers who made that possible. Their throwing questions at me and forcing me to
promptly respond made me to be very bold anywhere I find myself. Assuming that I had run this race of
secondary school education alone, I wouldn't have been leaving as a graduate today. I had the
opportunity to be the school's Sports Prefect. It was quite stressful but thanks to my fellow prefects and
our Vice-Principal (Administration) Mr. Gbenga Olorunfunmi who always preached “team work”.

It is really difficult to say “goodbye” and also hard to believe that I might not see most of my set-mates
and friends again. We shared many good times together; the hilarious jokes and laughter especially
when we played, ate, got into trouble together and were punished together. All these are unforgettable
memories. I can actually say that my set-mates were my life at G.I.S.S. Words alone cannot express
how I feel.

I would like to say a big thanks to the Almighty God for His grace and mercies, for without Him, I could
have laboured in vain. To my wonderful parents, I owe numerous gratitude for their great support and
for the numerous sacrifices they made on my behalf, alongside my siblings.

My gratitude goes to my 'seatie'. Kuku, my two caring besties: Oto and Ona, my wonderful and loving
'mother' Zubby and to my ever dependable friends: Chidera and Chizaram and a host of others.

I can never forget my great class, SS3 Alpha, which was filled with love and fun. It was a great class to
be in and we were always there to cheer one another up. We were like brothers and sisters. We
misbehaved together and got punished together. I love you all from the bottom of my heart. To my
friends in other classes whom I refer to as my younger brothers and sisters. I owe you a whole lot of love
and hugs.

To my indefatigable and considerate school authorities and the Board of Directors, your reward awaits
you in heaven.
