‘Back to school’, a common phrase that ushers away the holidays.
Indeed, it’s time for learners to go back to school.
Parents running around picking up this and that to make sure that their children sail through the term without any obstacles.
The parents seek to see improvement and development in their children.
Keeping in mind Second Term means winter time, for some a stepping stone and others a stumbling block.
Many students dread this period as it induces untamed sleep with the very warm, cosy blankets clinging onto your body; it definitely battles with the school spirit.
Nevertheless, the learner perseveres through all the blows and is focused on climbing the ladder of success.
Looking on the brighter side of it all, for schools winter time is ballgame season.
Various sports are put at every learner’s disposal giving all equal opportunities for self exploration.
I always encourage my peers to try new things for this is the time we will never get again.
Life is like a river, you can’t touch the same water twice.
As learners, we need to grab every opportunity with both hands and run with them, be it in sports, academic, clubs or anything else.
Never allow yourself to be that old fellow one day sitting on a chair wishing they did this and that.
Do it now and build your future.
In future, you will thank yourself for your efforts.
I wish us all students a successful Second Term through Christ our Lord.
