Hi folks!
Well, I'm chilling right in the city of Uyo with an average temperature of about 19°C, this very evening. A week ago, my crew was hired to livestream, cover and take shots of a graduation ceremony which was at CFEN school IBB way, Uyo.
That Monday was such a colourful day. The pupils were dressed in their tony dresses to celebrate their end of the year party and as well look gorgeous when receiving their prizes. The teachers were looking so elegant as they stormed the auditorium.
While the pupils, parents and guests were still seated, waiting for the commencement of the occasion, my media team had already set up all necessary devices for the success of the occasion.
For this article, I won't dwell on our media operation, but I'll concentrate mainly on the occasion. Right in front of the long hall was a broad table with hundreds of prizes uniquely arranged.
Then the high table for the graduating students was just beside the table of the prizes.
The graduands wore a beautiful gown which was also decorated with yellow coloured fabric at the chest region.
All the teachers appeared in a yellow native attire which had a floral design on it.
The hall was filled with so many people from far and near.
The graduation began an opening remark from the headteacher and the occasion began in essence.
Variety of presentation were carried out by the pupils from their respective classes.
It all started with the pre-nursery and nursery classes which needed their teachers to be fully at standby.
Their presentations triggered the 'baby' spirit in me and I felt like reversing time to enjoy good childish memories which comprised of my nursery rhymes, matching-in songs, playmates, break time games and lots more.
Seconds became minutes and minutes became hours. All varieties came to an end and it was high time we got into the main business of the day.
This was the presentation of awards to the pupils with inimitable and outstanding academic performances.
Smiles filled the whole auditorium and the shots I took were so amazing. I loved the mental picture the smiles of the children, pointed in my mind.
Their happiness reminded me of alot, including the way they jumped on their parents and yelling, "I made it, dad!" I just broke down in tears while standing on my grave of dreams, wishing I could return to childhood.
After that occasion, I couldn't stop repeating the phrase, "children are blessings from God!"
