THE DANGERS OF DRUG ABUSE
Once upon a time, in a small town of Agunda, there lived a young boy named Tunde. Tunde was a bright and cheerful boy who loved playing with his friends,
One day while Tunde was at the park playing with his friends, he saw some older kids. These kids were using some strange things and seemed very different. They offered Tunde the “something” saying that it will make him feel great.
Curious Tunde tried it but didn’t feel great at all. Instead he felt sick, dizzy and his head hurt. His friends noticed the change and became worried about Tunde.
Tunde’s teacher, Mrs. Johnson, had taught the class about dangers of drug abuse. She had shown them the pictures of healthy kids and kids who used drugs. Tunde remem-
bered those lessons. He went home and told his parent what happened. They listened and explained that using those things was very bad for him. Tunde realized that he had made mistake. From that day on, Tunde focused on his dream of becoming doctor. He knew that drug abuse was a dangerous path and he wanted to stay healthy and happy.

My School
My school is a place where I spend a significant part of my day, and it holds a special place in my heart. Nestled amidst tall trees, it welcomes us with open arms every morning, promising a day filled with learning, laughter, and discovery.
As I walk through the gates, the vibrant colors of the school building immediately catch my eye. The classrooms are like second homes, each filled with the echoes of enthusiastic chatter and the rustling of pages as we immerse ourselves in the world of books. The walls are adorned with the artwork of my fellow classmates, creating an atmosphere of creativity and expression.
One of my favorite spots in the school is the library. It’s a treasure trove of knowledge, lined with shelves of books that transport me to different worlds and times. The librarian, a friendly figure, helps us navigate through the vast collection, encouraging us to explore and expand our horizons.
The playground is another bustling area where friendships are forged and memories are created. The sound of laughter and the sight of students engaged in various games make it a lively and energetic space. Whether it’s a game of football, a session on the swings, or simply sitting under the shade of a tree and sharing stories, the playground is a hub of activity.
The classrooms are not just places for learning; they are spaces where bonds are formed between teachers and students. Our teachers, mentors, and guides are pillars of support, always ready to impart knowledge and wisdom. Their passion for teaching creates an environment where curiosity is nurtured, and every question is welcomed.
Apart from academics, my school encourages participation in various extracurricular activities. From music and dance to science exhibitions and debates, there’s always an avenue for students to showcase their talents and interests. These activities foster a sense of belonging and instill a well-rounded development.
In conclusion, my school is not just a building with classrooms; it’s a vibrant community that shapes us into individuals ready to face the world. The memories created within its walls will forever hold a special place in my heart, and I am grateful for the opportunities it provides for growth, learning, and camaraderie.
