The principal of Lagooz Schools,
Chief (Mrs.) Olyvet Otubela who also delivered a speech, made the graduating
students to understand as she quotes “life is a journey. There are no
limitations to how far we can go in life except the limitation we set through
our imagination. The sky may look so far away but if we are determined to go
there, with continuous commitment, hard work and God’s help, we will surely
attain our goals.” She went further to appreciate parents of the students; “our
estimable parents, you are the source of our celebration today. Without you,
the learners will not be here today. Once more, I say congratulations to you
all. As our children are moving to the next level of their academic pursuit,
our responsibility towards them has also increased. We must be there at all
times not only by giving them financial support but also giving them physical,
moral and spiritual support. You only expect what you inspect. Visit them in
their schools, discuss with them, listen to them, ask questions on who their
friends are.”
An address was also given by the
proprietor, Chief ‘Yomi Otubela (FCMA), he started by appreciating
all students, teaching and non-teaching staff, parents, government officials,
pressmen, well wishers and to the community for the support and prayers over
the years. He went further by stating that their unflinching support has helped
Lagooz Schools to achieve the little that was achieved within the period of her
existence.
It is however, noteworthy that some of the past students of Lagooz College gained admission into Lead City University and are spread across various faculties of the university.
He later advised the graduating
students by saying, “As leaders to be, do not be caught up with the saying, “I
can’t,, it’s not realistic!” but rather say, “I can” and find a way. So I
advise you to develop the “I can” mindset to approach every situation that
confronts you, that is the hallmark of great leaders.”
They were also told to learn to
show appreciation to those who have contributed to their achievement one way or
the other, starting from their parents/guardians, teaching and non-teaching
staff who made their stay in the school worthwhile.
He added that they need to imbibe
the character of an eagle. He gave full illustration about the qualities of an
eagle bird as an outstanding bird among other birds. He warned them not to live
their lives as a pigeon. He described the pigeon as a bird that settles for
less, while the eagle go all the way to hunt for its prey.
