She shared her experience with her mum and noted that she was given a cold but interesting welcome upon arriving at the school, where she was made to carry her chop box and run with it.

She noted that while this might seem like subtle bullying, it was also a time-honoured tradition for seniors to initiate new students.

Additionally, she had a lovely school mother who was also the school's Chaplain.

According to her, her school mother made school life a bit easy for her since she washed and ironed for her sometimes. One of her 'problems' was her school dad, who kept disowning and reowning her.

Another highlight of her school experience was how she was introduced to the language of her new community.

She noted that before commencing her SHS education, she did not understand and could not speak Ewe, although her mates and seniors introduced her and are teaching her the language.
