Memories from Boarding School Days: Platform

Tayo,

Hello,

I stumbled upon the success wish card you gave me during final exams in Senior Secondary School III while at home in Ibadan for the last Christmas and new year celebration. It steered good memories with feeling of a sure and endorsed platform that shaped me and you: FGCIk secondary days of schooling. Two of such souvenirs remain with me, locked in my travelling box: that success wish card and Henry Fabeku’s letter (dated 9^th September, 2006). I hope you are fine and ok. I also hope you do better than being indifferent to relevant memories of our “Alma Matter Platform”. Those memories posit celebration and position me for happiness; being a tidy stage or plane. You will agree with me that we went through divers experiences: boarding school experiences, bitter - sweet experiences, sense - making experiences, sportish experiences, duty - full and Prep - full experiences. I dare to say that we have and own a story from these experiences and should appropriate the platform for personal and/or collective gain. Celebration knocks.

I am positive about reaching for you and will love to know how you are doing. Extend my greetings to one or two of our classmates; especially the ones that later went on to study in Obafemi Awolowo University like me and you. Enjoy

 

                                                                                                     Your friend,

Taiwo,

                                                  FGCIK
