Literature give me the best energy
In every secondary school!, there must be some set of students that jumped the window and run out of the class. On that day Dad took me for admission in the school, while I was in the staff room, and the teacher was asking me some questions to test my intelligence, i saw some students running out of their class, and it got me thinking why!
The deal is, those students that does that, did not like the subject about to be taught, so what he/she did was to leave the class once the subject teacher gets there.
As no teacher will allow them to leave the class, so, those students was always on alert, and they will leave immediately the teacher was about to step in the classroom.
Yet, a thing like that was not accepted in the school, and if a student was caught, he/she will be punished or expelled from the school, but students were still doing it, sometimes, I find it very hard why they could not easily get along.
But that was me in the junior section, because when I got to the senior section, I began to see what those students were going through, although, I didn't used to jumped the window and ran out, but it does were not giving me the coolest vibes.
I recalled me going close my classmate who put me through in those subjects I had hard time with, and because we were friends, we vibes on it, and it was not up to three weeks, i follow up, and then my liking for those subjects shift to the bigger side.
That apart, as far as there is something we did not like, or have a hard time with it, before we like it, there will definitely be something we love from the first time we see it.
And as a subject, it was *literature. The deal is, I love a lot of stuff's about that subject. I do not know if you felt a thing like this, but you know when someone pay a very close attention to something, and at that time open his eyes very wide. it was one of those things I used to do, because, I didn't want to ever missed the talking from the teacher.
It was with literature that I developed myself more on the aspect of writing songs, doing some singing stuff, and writing and organizing concert that we do in the school hall, every first Tuesday of the month.
This is not all literature can offer!. But do you know that, if there was nothing literally in this world, it will have been bored sometimes for us?
Imagine, there was no comedy, movie, I would not even want to talk about music, because a lot of us will agree that stuff help to keep us in good mood.
You see that literature time's in class! it was my best time's in the school, and nothing to compare.
Image is mine.
Omooooo!! You just unlocked premium secondary school trauma and vibes at the same time!
Those students that used to jump out through the window? I swear they had PhDs in Disappearing Arts. One moment you’re looking at the board, next thing you hear “Pa!” — window slide open, one leg out, and boom! They vanish like village witches on night shift. And the funny part? They always land like cats. No injury, just vibes.
And the reason? Subject don show. Once the math or agric teacher starts walking down the corridor with that evil look, the class will just enter silent mode — except for the one student already halfway out the window like Spider-Man on a mission.
But me sef, I used to look at them and be like, “Why are you people like this?” Until I entered senior class and life humbled me. Those subjects started looking like Greek. Not even Greek… hieroglyphics.
I didn’t jump window oh (God knows my legs no dey that flexible), but my mind used to jump every time the teacher asked for assignments. My body in class, but my soul chilling at home with noodles and cartoons.
But then — enter Literature. Sweet baby Shakespeare! That subject had me wide-eyed like a hungry goat in a yam barn. I no dey blink during literature class. One blink and you miss the metaphor, and nobody wants to be the one asking, “What’s irony again?” after everyone’s already nodding in deep understanding.
Literature unlocked my inner Shakespeare mixed with small Burna Boy. I started writing songs, planning concerts, and giving motivational speeches during morning assembly like I was running for prefect. First Tuesday of the month? Na me dey organize school hall concert like Head of Entertainment Affairs.
And honestly, imagine this life with no literature. No movies, no music, no books, no comedy skits — just pure raw silence and mathematics from Monday to Sunday. Omo, even the strongest man go cry.
No cap, literature class was my sweet escape. Some were escaping through the window, but me? I was escaping through imagination. Mic drop.
Greetings. I felt that too friend. I did not used to jumped the window, but my mind used to did it, untill i follow up their classes, and after a while, I got steady at every subjects.
I think if it was now those students that used to disappear like spider man wouldn't want to do it anymore. The deal is, anything a person do not know will still seems big to the person, meanwhile, it might be something easy to know.
Thank you bro, do have a wonderful day ahead.
Very true bro 👍🏼
For you to like literature, wow that’s just cool. Never heard of this. And the fact that you never missed class tells how much you really liked the subject.
That subject was the best, and if I am asked to choose any today, literature will still be my take.
