Returning back to Unity Secondary School

It has been almost 5 years since i last stepped foot in Unity Secondary School. I was there as a student for a final time to collect my O level results back in 2014.

I was called back by my teachers to share my experience in National Service with the current Secondary 3 batch of Unitians. Initially, i was delighted and surprised when i heard about it, given the fact that i just ended my service in January of 2018. Nevertheless, i was extremely happy to share my experience with them.

Upon arrival to the school, i bumped into many of my teachers. It was pleasant to meet them after many years. Me and a few other alumni were then brought to the hall where we received a small token of appreciation from the new Vice Principal.

After which, me and another alumni were led into the AVA room where we shared our experience along with slides. Initially, i was nervous as i had not done any public presentation in front of large groups before. Progressively, i overcame my nervousness.

Once the presentation ended, i had a talk with my former teachers and even the vice principal. From which, i decided to walk around the school, reminiscing the old days.
