16TH'S SPEECH AND PRIZE GIVING CEREMONY

SATURDAY 6TH JULY, 2002

Today is the main day! It is the 16th Annual Speech and Prize Giving Day. It is the 16th Annual Speech and Prize Giving Day. We first of all had assembly on the assembly ground before proceeding to the assembly hall. Speeches were delivered and some form of entertainment took place like the cultural dance.

Prizes were then presented to the awardees. I had four prizes and a certificate of merit in each of the subjects. Every mum hug her child while collecting his/her prize but my mum coudn't hug me due to our shy nature. I was a bit jealous since Sherif's prizes were more than mine. I made up my mind to beat him off in the next class SS2. My mum told me that Sagiru is outside with a camera. I wanted to go out to meet him but Mr. Ibrahim prevented me from doing so. 

I took my mum and my brother Sagiru to SS1 Emerald after the speech and prize to stay and chat. We ate together and chat for a while. We chat, ate and snapped pictures before they took their leave back to Kano, home.   

I went to Sadiq's room to only discover that he has travelled back home Kano. I received a note from Mahmuda to give Lawandi his locker and mattress and to Muhammad his juggers. I should also carry a Fuji film and give to Lawal. I saw my camera in Senior Abdullahi's hand. I wanted to collect it back but he refused to give me back.
