My name is Nkechinyere Kamsiyochukwu Umeh. I am from Anambra State. I attend Deeper Life High School, Mowe, Ogun State. I am a science student in SSS 3 and I am 16 years old. I am from a family of four children and I am the first child.Yes. My school organised everything for us. My classmates and I were registered by our school and we wrote the exam between the second and third term break.No, I don’t think so. It’s not so difficult. It’s just a matter of how you prepare.
There is also a high level of discipline in my school, which removes things that may act as inhibitors to our success. My school frowns on exam malpractices; the management really stands against it. Any student caught cheating is expelled. So, this instils in us a culture of discipline, not depending on shortcuts to our success.My parents were there for me while I was preparing. Though I am a boarder, they always called me every weekend to give me words of encouragement.
