October!  October!!  October!!!   A month that speaks of freedom, of course the 1st of October 1960, Nigeria got her independence and so I salute the nation on her 59th year anniversary. The independence is a call to be patriotic to one’s nation, even though the dwindling economic situation is not encouraging. Nevertheless, no matter the situation the zeal to succeed is still on.

Students like to be independent and free, but freedom is not always free after all. There is always a price to pay. Just as the gazelle wakes up in the morning and preparing to out run the lion who wants to make her his prey, so also the lion prepare to catch the gazelle or another prey to satisfy its hunger. So should student also at all times be prepared for obstacles they may face in life in other to succeed no matter what they are. We know no challenge is greater than any human, but due to fear, inexperience and anxiety students tends to believe otherwise.

Also, October 5th, celebrates some special set of persons in the society who teaches, train and act as second parent to mold the life of student to become better individuals. The work of these individuals cannot be over emphasized because their work has a long term effect on the student.

Students are hereby advised to always appreciate, respect and adhere to the teachings of their teachers as it will make them better citizens, since they are the future leaders.

The ember months are here again, thank God for his mercies. A lot of people have this mythical or should I say superstitious believe that it comes with so much evil incidence and bad omen but truth is the ember months are like every other month. What you get out of life generally is dependent on your perception; therefore, I dare to say be an optimist.

It has often been said that when preparation meets with opportunity, success is inevitable. Also, if you fail to plan, it means you have planned to fail. Holidays will soon wave goodbye and once again, school activities will kick off with every students in their new class; so as a good student be both effective and efficient. In this new session set goals for yourself and strive to be better and you will have a fulfilling and blissful September both academically and otherwise.

Yeah! I’m so excited. Happy new month to all you wonderful students, this is indeed a dawn of a new beginning for us all. On behalf of B2sl team and my humble self; we want to take this time out to say a big congratulation to you all who just graduated. Some out of senior secondary school, some into senior secondary school and others that will be entering junior secondary, thumbs up to every one of you.

One may think ‘its holiday’ therefore no more book work, dear do not be deceived as no one ever graduates from the school of life. Learning is a continuous process and as a matter of fact the day you stop learning you start dying. The holiday is good no doubt and the importance of rest cannot be over emphasized nonetheless it is wise to seize  the  holiday period to learn something new, perhaps a new skill, read a new book, attempt and do holiday assignments.

Everyone must seek to add value to his or her life from time to time, I mean we do not expect you to resume the next session being the same way you were. What happens to surprising your friends? When you resume school, your teachers, school mates and friends should notice something new and different about you. I will like to quickly add this “do not move from one level to another passively but actively.

Finally, I won’t say bye without enjoining you to catch up with our exciting and educative articles on our blog; just a little expo, this month topic is on Money Matters/Financial Literacy, you may not get this ideas in school, tell a friend.

Wow! Suddenly, the month of July has crept in and obviously the second half of the year has begun. The one thing on the minds of every student now is Examination. “Exam” is seriously ringing in the air. Every student across the nation is saddled with the responsibility of writing an exam that will decide whether they will be promoted to the next class or not.

This month is jam-packed with several activities. Most schools will be organizing their graduation/end of session party; this implies that student will have to combine class tutorials, preparing for exams and rehearsals together. A smart student should know how to balance them all.

Hurray! The month of June is here and of course to signal the end of the first half of the year and I hope you have made good use of the previous months, not merely existing but practically living a well planned out life; don’t forget, it is the way you lay your bed that you will lie on it. Well, this is not to make you fret, rather, to make you more conscious of becoming successful not just in your academics but in all area of your life.

Socrates said “an unexamined life is not worth living” I said that to inform you that you can still get things on the right track if you are afraid, and even if you are on the right path you can do better. You may want to ask how? To answer your question, I will like you to take a little time out to appraise and evaluate yourself, your achievements and flaws so far, see where you have gone wrong and make corrections, and also what you have done right and improve on them. A simple step to check strengths and weaknesses is for you to draw a check list on yourself, rate your achievements and failures in the previous months on a scale of 1-10 and see. Simple right?

In this month, our bloggers shall be hammering on Creativity because it is one of the sure ways to bringing out the best in you, therefore we are excited to bring to you topics that will bring you out from your comfort zone and cause you to make a difference in your world, I will like you to comb through ours blogs from time to time and do not be selfish, invite your friends to the site and be adequately informed and equipped
