Academic challenges

So I found the academic aspect of secondary school quite challenging… both London and Nigeria….  just the academic part… I found every other part awesome 💃💃 …. in general i had an amazing experience….

The challenge… back then in school we were made to sit a test every month…. the school had a system of making us sit these tests… then announcing the name of the top and bottom 3 students in each class… in assembly…. oh Lord what a palava for many…. very emotionally traumatising…. some tears…  most especially from those who aspired to be top of the class….🤔

Anyway I was indeed a frequent flyer at the bottom🤓… nope I wasn’t the least bothered… no tears from me…. or any of my companions at the bottom🤣🤣🤣 ….

that was the system I met coming from an ordinary low performing… inner city London secondary school…into one of the top grammar schools in Nigeria (accolade👏👏👏👏)…. it was the expected outcome for me…. I had a lot of catching up to do🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️…. quite frankly I’ve never really caught up… but I’ve found and maintained my own lane 😜
