The New year is already underway, and like
every other year, there is always a trending topic or discussion that takes the
center stage defining the moment. The year 2024 is no exception and already
there is a slogan that have been conjured up to best describe the motto for the
year, which is "No Gree For
Anybody"
Like the slogan depicts, you are expected to
not agree or be swayed by others. In this sense one is expected to stand their
ground in the face of opposition and not be easily moved by the pressure that
comes with these obstacles. This motto can be easily related to students in
their daily way of life as they thrive to go through the rigours of the school
system.
As students the motto can be applied to our
everyday life which includes academics and socially. It's advisable to address
things that we encounter head-on and try as much as possible to overcome them
in every circumstance. We shouldn't allow the obstacles we face in our everyday
school life to get us down. Be it academics or socially we are expected to be
strong and put up a good fight in order to overcome unhealthy challenges.
It is no news that as students, we face a lot
of challenges in our everyday life, with academics being a major point of these
challenges. As students our Academics is the focal point of our endeavor in the
citadel of learning, so it is no surprise that it will be a challenging point
in school life.
As students, we must strive to attack these
challenges head-on and avoid succumbing under the pressure. So it is imperative
to urge students not to succumb to these challenges that we might face
academically, as no matter how tough the going might get, it will surely get
better.
As much as academics remains the focal point
of students' activities in school, one must remember that social activities
play an important role in students' way of life. It is imperative for students
to engage in the social activities that pick their interest and help them
unwind from the pressure of academic activities. Students are advised to explore
their social space and try to create relationships and opportunities that will
serve as major links or openings for the foreseeable future.
As students it is advisable not to let life
opportunities pass us by due to being overly academic and forget to have a
social life. Life is all about balance, like the great thoughts of old "No
great mind has ever existed without a touch of madness"_ Aristotle. This
is not to say you are expected to run mad literally, but you are expected to
let loose every now and then, to create a balance in your life.
In all it is advisable for us as students to
imbibe this motto in the most positive way as we can. In important parts of our
life, especially our Academics, as we strive and try as much as possible to
come out on top in our sojourn in this citadel. We must make it a point to not
be swayed in our ambition. We must make it a duty to focus on the goal ahead
and try as much as possible to not pay attention to any distraction, that is;
No gree for any Distraction, No gree for any Procrastination, No gree for any
Second guessing, No gree for Missed opportunities, No gree for Hunger and most
importantly No gree for Anybody.
