                                              HOW BIG IS YOUR EXCUSE?

          Hamilton Naki was offered a job as a gardener  in the University of Cape
          Town. He had come from a very humble background, with little or no
          education. This was apartheid South Africa where the educated Black
          people  had  not  got  a  voice,  not  to  mention  a  Black  male  with  no
          education at all. But nothing was going to stop this determined young
          man with an amazing self image and esteem! Soon, he got a job as a
          laboratory  assistant,  helping  with  the  meanest  of  roles  in  the
          laboratory.
                                                                                      OYINLOLA, Oluwatobiloba
          What then happened?


          Four  years  after,  he  rose  from  an  illiterate  gardener  and  assistant  to  a  Principal  Surgical
          Surgeon, armed with an Honorary Master's degree from the University of Cape Town:  a feat one
          would have considered almost impossible!

          The question is: what have you done with your ample opportunities? Your  time?


          So many learners   today complain about so many things.  Some of them say,   ''My teacher is the
          reason I am not doing well at school!''  You've got to wake up!


          You could have a million genuine excuses why you don't feel like reading or taking up that
          challenge, but, you must realize that if you fail to dream big, you would spend your entire life
          helping others build their dreams. Time is moving fast and waits for no one! So, get up! Move!
          Take into consideration that great achievement involves great risk! Embrace change! Express
          your enthusiasm! You're not a failure!


          Follow the three Rs:
             ·  Respect for self
             ·  Respect for others
             ·  Responsibility for your actions!


          Be the best! See you at the top!
