NO!!!!!!!
THIS WAS MY STORY IN SECONDARY SCHOOL
“I hate every of my subjects in science
class but like those of arts class”
“I would like to be a broadcaster but
I am in science class (SS 1), is it
not late?.”
The class I currently
am doesn’t
match the career I want.
“Help!!! I think I’m
in the wrong class”
Don’t make my mistake
Daddy & Mummy Factor ( I must be a doctor)
Follow- Follow Syndrome (my friends were there)
Big TITLE Factor (Dr. At the back of my name)
