Head of the Red Cross in Cross River State, Mrs Gertrude Usani and the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Bassey Otu, Gill Nsa have advised graduands of Brotherhood Model College, (BROMCO), to flee vices, social ills and bad companionship event amongst school mates.
They cautioned them to be very focused at their Studies if they intend to become useful and important citizens of the country in future.
Both gave the advice weekend during the school held their 2023/2024 graduation ceremony in Calabar and intake of SS3 students.
Nsa who was guest of honour stressed importance of embracing change in both character and learning.
“By being open to change and willing to adapt, you will continue to evolve and grow in ways you never thought possible.
“Embracing change in your character means being open-minded, empathetic. And resilient in the face challenges. You just step out of comfort zone, take risks, and learn from your mistakes,” he said.
Still emphasizing on embracing change, Nsa urged the graduands to be curious, inquisitive and eager to explore new ideas and perspectives.
He also advised them to explore different fields of knowledge and interests for a well-rounded education.
On her part, Mrs Usani stressed on importance of guidance and career counselor in schools, told the graduands that they have reached the turning point in their lives.
She cautioned parents and guardians against forcing their children and wards against forcing them to take a career path they are not interested in, or taking after their own kind of trades and professions.
“Parents should allow their children to follow their own destinies and choices.
“Children should be allowed to willingly and freely choose what professions they want to pursue,” she noted.
The school principal, Tari Pujeh urged the graduating students not to focus on negative tasks, and should overcome obstacles that prevent them from their goals.
“You must have positive outlook on the world and understand that discipline is the bridge between goals and achievements.
“I hope that each one of you finds yourself on a stage big enough to have great influence to proclaim truth and fairness,” the principal stressed.
