GIANTS IMPACTING LIVES

Giants impacting lives

An iroko is a giant tree that sits in the sky above every other tree in the forest, it is a distinct and rarified kind of tree that is characterized by size, beauty, grace and height.
Our lives have been impacted by legends and giants and they have changed the face of technology, education, health care, security, entrepreneurship, agriculture and so on.

In the words of the legendary writer and poet prof Chinua Achebe in one of his books, no longer at ease,he said"you cannot plant greatness as you plant yams or maize.whoever planted an iroko tree-the greatest tree in the forest? You may collect all the iroko seeds in the world, open the soil and put them there, it will be in vain.The great tree chooses where to grow and we find it there, so it is with the greatness in men".
So Rt hon Ekperikpe Ekpo has chosen the soil he wants to grow, he has carved a niche for himself and has written his name in gold in the educational sector in Nigeria, his thirst for excellent education that can be compared to any in developed climes o the world has led him to established esteem schools.@papaudeme
He has brought professionalism, topnotch infrastructure, brilliant personnel and world class management to groom pupils and students so that they can compete favourably with their contemporaries in other countries.
Our vision at esteem schools is to empower children with knowledge, skills, intellectual and moral characteristics needed for leadership and co-existence in the society, we model giants that are conscious of their talents and environment.
We nurture our pupils and students to @peaceakpan discover their inherent traits so that they can invent technologies and make life better for the society. Our E-library and science laboratory are state-of-the art,when we cook all these garnished with a serene and spacious classroom for learning and a friendly and brilliant workforce"Excellence is the answer"@misterakpan

As a giant,there are attributes you must possess. You have to be1.disciplined
2.steadfast
3.focused
4.passionate
5.diligent and
6.studious.
These are the hallmarks of a distinguished personality. I must also add that giants persevere and weather storms, they don't cower at the slightest hurdle no wonder the bible says in Prov 24:10 "if thou faint in the days of adversity, thy strength is small"so be strong and be ready for the phase of life you are about to begin.

As you graduate today, always know that there are no short cuts to success, shun cultism and other vices, recognize the indelible fact that you can only get to the top through dint of hard work and success comes before work only in the dictionary.

I pray that God in his infinite love bless and give you wisdom like that of Solomon so that you will excel. Listen to your parents and always read your bibles. God bless you.
