Seeta Parents Primary School retweetledi
At the kind invitation of the Executive Director of Seeta Parents Primary School, I had the honor of officiating as Chief Guest at the Prefects’ Oath-Taking Ceremony held earlier today.
I implored these innocent souls to stand up and be counted, meaning not to sit on their talents, they should not fear to ask tough questions, always to respect teachers, and if there’s a need to ask a teacher any questions in and outside the classroom, if they dodge teachers and class, they won’t dodge bad grades, I also implored them to participate in each and every activity at school, that’s when they will discover who they are.
They can only discover themselves by participating in co-curricular activities i.e Music Dance and Drama (MDD), Sports, in them I see international superstars but that will only happen if they start early.
I also urged them to practice the religion of “Ubuntu” (humanity).
I also warned them never to take drugs, there’s nothing good in them. When a rich man’s child runs mad, they can be taken abroad for rehabilitation and proper care.
But when a poor man’s child runs mad, they remain here feeding on garbage.
Finally, I implored teachers to stop giving our children holiday work. Children should have time to have fun and play, because as we grew up, we were always told to do the right thing at the right time.
