NO!!!!!!!

THIS WAS MY STORY IN SECONDARY SCHOOL

“I hate every of my subjects in science

class but like those of arts class”

“I would like to be a broadcaster but

I am in science class (SS 1), is it

not late?.”

The class I currently

am doesn’t

match the career I want.

“Help!!! I think I’m

in the wrong class”

Don’t make my mistake
